Abstract
Electron attachment to POCl(3) was studied in the bath gas He over the pressure range 0.4-3.1 Torr and the temperature range 300-1210 K. Branching fractions of POCl(3)(-), POCl(2)(-), Cl(-), and Cl(2)(-) were measured. The results are analyzed by kinetic modeling, using electron attachment theory for the characterization of the nonthermal energy distribution of the excited POCl(3)(-∗) anions formed and chemical activation-type unimolecular rate theory for the subsequent competition between collisional stabilization of POCl(3)(-∗) and its dissociation to various dissociation products. Primary and secondary dissociations and∕or thermal dissociations of the anions are identified. The measured branching fractions are found to be consistent with the modeling results based on molecular parameters obtained from quantum-chemical calculations.
