Abstract

The absolute reaction rate coefficients for electron attachment to C70 have been measured in the electron temperature, Te, range from 300 to 4500 K using the flowing-afterglow/Langmuir probe technique. A detailed comparison of the electron attaching properties of C70 with C60 is made. Thus, whilst electron capture to C60 occurs only in the p-wave channel at these Te, it is tentatively reasoned that electron capture by C70 proceeds preferentially in the s-wave channel below a Te of about 1000 K and in the p-wave channel and/or the s-wave channel at the higher Te.
