Associative resonance capture

These electrons can be captured by a molecule. The process can be associative or dissociative. The associative resonance capture that leads to the formation of negative molecular... 

The associative resonance capture is favoured for molecules with several electronegative atoms or with possibilities to stabilize ions by resonance. The energy to remove an electron from the molecular anion by autodetachment is generally very low. Consequently, any excess of energy from the negative molecular ion as it is formed must be removed by collision. Thus, in Cl conditions, the reagent gas serves not only for producing thermal electrons but also as a source of molecules for collisions to stabilize the formed ions. 

The MCI spectrum of psoralen (Fig. 9.25) indicates that resonance capture is occurring so that most of the ion current is carried hy the molecular ion at m/z 186. The associated GC trace indicates that ionisation is ca 10 times more efficient for the same amount of psoralen in comparison with El. In addition, since most of the ion current is channelled into the molecular ion, an analytical method which selectively monitored the molecular ion of psoralen would be ca 40 times more sensitive if NICI conditions were used rather than El. The technique only works for compounds which are electron capturing. The small ion at m/z 218 indicates that the psoralen has also formed an adduct with traces of oxygen present in the instrument, i.e. true chemical ionisation. 

The shape resonances have been described by Feshbach in elastic scattering cross-section for the processes of neutron capture and nuclear fission [7] in the cloudy crystal ball model of nuclear reactions. These scattering theory is dealing with configuration interaction in multi-channel processes involving states with different spatial locations. Therefore these resonances can be called also Feshbach shape resonances. These resonances are a clear well established manifestation of the non locality of quantum mechanics and appear in many fields of physics and chemistry [8,192] such as the molecular association and dissociation processes.

The bombardment of beryllium with alpha particles shows resonances in the (an) and (an ) reactions leading to the ground state and first excited state of O-. The ground state reaction Q-vslue is 5.6 MeV and the high yield of neutrons makes the observation of capture radiation at the (an) resonances very difficult (Allan and Sarma ). The resonances in neutron (or associated gamma ray) yield were obtained by Halpern, using 0.5 C of polonium, and by Tal-... 

More complicated materials, especially uranium in this context, display non 1/u behaviour. This may be described as showing a marked preference or resonance for neutrons close to certain resonance energies. Such resonances may be fairly sharp so that only neutrons close to the resonance speed or energy react. Some resonances are associated with fission and produce more neutrons others simply lead to capture, removing neutrons. On the whole, the resonance effects tend to lead to a net loss of neutrons and thus a negative reactivity effect. 

Further effort established that both eigenvalue trends are related to a defective analytic representation of the capture in the 1-eV °Pu resonance. Normalization of this capture rate to that determined by MONTE CARLO calculations which have been completed together with a reduction in the value 2.89, used as the number of fission neutrons per Pu fission is expected to reduce the scatter and to adjust the magnitude of the plutonium eigenvalues to those associated with uranium criticals. 

Electron transmission spectra of bis-(ri3-allyl) complexes of nickel, palladium and platinum have been reported. Each compound displayed three resonances associated with electron capture into three empty n ligand MO s. The measured electron attachment energies...
