The saturated vapor of ethyllithium has been analyzed by use of a mass spectrometer. Mass peaks corresponding to LinR» -i+ (n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) were observed. The Li6R6 + and Li

Phys. 93, 357 (1990); 10.1063/1.459534Indirect process in the dissociative attachment of low energy electrons to molecules Appearance potentials and translational energies of the products resulting from several dissociative electron capture processes have been measured. Excess energies were determined for each process from the measured appearance potentials and known ground-state heats of formation of the products and reactants. As with positive ions, the results were found to agree with the predictions of classical statistical theory. Application of the method is demonstrated in determination of the electron affinity of radicals.

The appearance potentials for loss of H,O and DOH from the constitutional isomers 3,5-dideuterocyclohexanol and 4,4-dideuterocyclohexanol show, in agreement with proposals based on stereoselectivities, that 1,3 loss of water is energetically more costly than 1,4 loss of water.
