Thermal Energy Reactions of C− with O2, N2O, CO, and CO2

Abstract
Thermal energy reaction rate constants for C ions reacting with O2, CO, CO2, N2O and H2 have been measured using a flowing afterglow technique. The reaction with O2 produces O, the reactions with CO, CO2, and N2O produce free electrons and neutral products, and H2 is not observed to react.
