Abstract
The neutral products arising from dissociative recombination reactions between polyatomic positive ions and electrons are discussed from a theoretical point of view. It is argued that polyatomic ions are composed of valence bonds and that the dissociative recombination process normally involves the rupture of one of these bonds. This viewpoint leads to markedly different products from the predictions of previous theories. Recombination between a polyatomic positive ion and a negative PAH ion is also considered and it is noted that such reactions may lead to dissociation of the positive ion.KeywordsValence BondInterstellar CloudDissociative RecombinationNeutral ProductRadiationless TransitionThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
