Abstract

A drift-tube-mass-spectrometer apparatus has been used to study the production of Cl-·HCl cluster molecules in HCl-N2 mixtures. The concentration of HCl was 730 ppm and the total pressure ranged from 0.1-5 Torr. The primary ion Cl- is produced mainly by dissociative attachment of HCl and is converted to a cluster ion in a three-body collision. The rate of formation of the cluster ion is k2≃ 10-25 cm6/sec at E/N=12 Td. © 1978 American Institute of Physics.
