Doubly ionized states of some polyatomic molecules studied by double charge transfer spectroscopy

Abstract
The energy values of some doubly ionized states of CH4, N2O, C2N2, C2H2, C2H4, C2H6, C3H8, C6H6, CH3OH are determined by measuring the translational energy spectra of H- ions arising from single collision double charge transfer of 4 keV protons on these molecules. Assignments of the measured values to given states of the doubly ionized molecules are discussed. A comparison of the ionization potentials of the neutral and singly ionized molecule is made for some of the molecules.
