Abstract
Absolute cross sections for electron ionization of methylcyclohexane (MCH, C 7H 14) are measured as a function of the electron energy in a range of 10–200 eV. The electron ionization of MCH produces the parent ion C 7H 14 + and fragment ions C 6H 11 + and C 4H 7 + as the predominant product ions at most of the electron energies studied. Reactions between selected hydrocarbon ions with the neutral MCH molecule, mainly via hydride transfer, charge transfer and H 2 − transfer mechanisms, are studied. Absolute rate constants are reported, and the correlations between the reactivities and the thermochemical data of the reactions are discussed. The Binary-Encounter-Bethe method is applied to MCH to provide a theoretical comparison to the sum of the measured ionization cross sections.
