Popis: The electron transfer reactions between CF [image omitted] and Ar have been studied using a position-sensitive coincidence time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The spectra show the formation of CF [image omitted], CF [image omitted] and CF [image omitted] ions, accompanied by Ar+ ions, by dissociative and non-dissociative electron transfer reactions. Analysis of the PSCO data shows that the CF [image omitted] and CF [image omitted] ions are formed by reactions of ground state CF [image omitted](2B2) ions. The CF [image omitted] product is formed in high lying vibrational states of its ground electronic state, just below the dissociation asymptote to [image omitted]. The formation of CF [image omitted] proceeds via a sequential mechanism, involving the population of highly excited vibrational levels of the ground electronic state of CF [image omitted] which dissociate to CF [image omitted](2A1) + F when the CF [image omitted] is well separated from the Ar+ ion. No evidence of complexation is observed. The en...
