Noncovalent Structures of Negative Ions in Dissociative Electron Capture Spectra
摘要
Abstract
Examples of the so-called noncovalent structures of anions are reviewed. Their geometry differs significantly from the geometry of the original molecules; in particular, the lengths of carbon–halogen bonds are ∼2.7–3 Å, and the halogen atom itself can circle the hydrocarbon skeleton of the anion (the so-called roaming). Such noncovalent structures can have a significantly higher electron affinity than the original molecules.
