Abstract

The effect of temperature on the kinetics and thermodynamics of gaseous ion-molecule reactions were investigated by pulsed, high pressure (0.4 - 3.0 torr) mass spectrometry in the temperature range 100 - 650°K. In the context of kinetic temperature effects, the reactions investigated may be divided into three classes: (i) Fast bimolecular transfer reactions which proceed with collision rates, e.g. N₂H⁺ + X ---XH⁺ + N₂ (X = CH_4, NH₃, CH₃CHO).
