Abstract

Abstract Simultaneous and sequential three-body dissociation mechanisms are described. The quasi-classical method using a Wigner description of the initial conditions has been applied to the case of HgCl 2 − formed by electron impact. The HgCl 2 − potential energy surface appears to be purely repulsive and has been generated by an empirical function. The trajectory results indicate that HgCl 2 − dissociation follows a nearly pure simultaneous mechanism, each chlorine taking off one half of the available energy.
