Abstract

In this work we select most probable reactions of alkali metal ions (Li+, Na+, K+) with dimethoxyethane (DXE) molecule. Appropriate gas phase enthalpies of formation for the products were used to calculate scattering cross section as a function of kinetic energy with Denpoh-Nanbu theory. Calculated cross sections were compared with existing experimental results obtained by guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometry. Three body association reaction of ions with DXE for three different pressures is studied and compared to experimental results. Calculated cross sections can be used to obtain transport parameters for Na+ in DXE gas.
