Charge transfer reactions in hydrogen bromide, hydrogen chloride and water

The relative cross-sections for charge transfer to hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide and water vapour together with the mass spectrum of HBr were obtained with several reactant ions.

The Q(RE) functions resembled the corresponding photoelectron spectra, confirming earlier statements that the PE peaks can be treated as experimental FC factors.

The influence of electronic and/or vibrational excitation, as well as of the kinetic energy of the reactant ions, on the hydrogen bromide mass spectrum has been demonstrated.
