Abstrakt: Dissociative electron attachment is a mechanism found in a large area of research and modern applications. This process is initiated by a resonant capture of a scattered electron to form a transitory anion via the shape or the core-excited resonance that usually lies at energies above the former (i.e., >3 eV). By studying experimentally and theoretically the interaction of nickel(II) (bis)acetylacetonate, Ni(II)(acac)2, with low energy electrons, we show that core-excited resonances are responsible for the molecular dissociation at unusually low electron energies, i.e., below 3 eV. These findings may contribute to a better description of the collision of low energy electrons with large molecular systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
