Article abstract of DOI:10.1143/JPSJ.33.1108

Reactions of highly excited atoms (A^**) with molecules (BC) A^**+BC→A⁺+B+C^-, (1) are studied. It is theoretically shown that the cross section for (1) can be approximately expressed in terms of that for dissociative attachment of electrons to molecules BC, namely, e+BC→B+C^-. The rate constants and the angular distributions of the products for some reactions including K_r^**+CCl₄→K_r ⁺ + CCl₃+Cl^-, (2) are predicted. The rate constant for reaction (2) is found to be of the order of the magnitude 10 ^-7 cm³/sec. Together with the results of the previous papers (M. Matsuzawa: J. chem. Phys. 55 (1971) 2685; J. Phys. Soc. Japan 32 (1972) 1088) it is pointed out that the measurements of reactions of highly excited atoms with molecules give useful information on the inelastic scattering of a slow electron by the molecules.
