Abstract
Two persistent collision complexes between an ion and a neutral molecule have been observed in a mass spectrometer. C6H6N2 + (primary ion C3H3N+) is formed in acrylonitrile, C12H11 + (primary ion C6H3 +) in benzene. The formation of both complexes very strongly decreases with increasing kinetic energy of the ions. This is explained by the decrease in lifetime due to the increased internal energy of the activated complexes. Some decomposition products of the complexes have also been observed. The results are compared to POTTIE and HAMILL′S theory of complex formation.Keywords
