Abstract
The dynamics of the hydride-ion transfer reaction between CH+ 3 (or CD+ 3) and C2H6 was investigated in a crossed-beam scattering experiment at the collision energy of 1.7 eV (c.m.). Formation of an osculating intermediate complex of a mean lifetime of about 1 ps was inferred from the scattering data. The reaction of CD+ 3 leads to the ion products C2H+ 5 and C2H2D+ 3 formed practically without H, D scrambling. The mechanism of the process is viewed as a formation of a protonated propane intermediate which decomposes from its critical configuration (CH3HCH2CH3)+ by splitting off a neutral methane molecule on either one or the other end with respect to the reactant ion attack.
