The gas-phase reactions M + O2(X3Ζ-g), M + O2(a 1Δg) and M + O(3P) have been studied with chemielectron spectroscopy, where M represents one of the lanthanide metals, cerium or lanthanum.Assignment of the observed bands has been assisted by mass analysis of the ions produced and by approximate kinetic modelling calculations.For the M + O2(X 3Ζ-g) and M + O2 (a 1Δg) associative ionization reactions, most of the excess energy appears as electron kinetic energy, whereas for the M + O(3P) reactions a larger fraction of the reaction energy is retained in the positive ion.
