Thermodynamic values for clustering reactions of the radical cations CO2+ and O2+ with carbon dioxide were measured with a pulsed electron beam mass spectrometer. CO2+• (CO2)n has the form of a “shell structure”, i.e., (CO2)2+• (CO2)n-1. Generally, the bond energies of symmetric radical cation dimers B+•—B increase with increasing ionization energy of B.

The temperature-controlled flowing afterglow system has been utilized at temperatures below 300°K to measure the rate constants for the association of H2, N2, O2, CO2, N2O, and SO2 to O2+ with helium third body. Rate constants for the association of N2, O2, and CO2 to O2− and for the association of N2 and CO2 to O− have been measured at 200°K. Some of the ion clusters formed in this way reacted via binary neutral interchange reactions of the type A±·B+C → A±·C+B. Rate constants for these processes were obtained at and below 300°K. The observation of these reactions allows an ordering of ion cluster bond energies. The increasing order of binding energies to O2+ is H2, N2, O2, N2O, SO2, and H2O. For the O2− ion clusters the increasing order is N2, O2, H2O, CO2, and NO. In some cases, equilibria are observed allowing a determination of binding energy differences. The three-body association rate constants increase with increasing binding energy of the ion cluster, in accord with theoretical expectation.
