Abstract

The reaction of CD+ 3 with C2H6 has been reinvestigated by the Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance technique. It proceeds, in addition to the previously observed "hydride transfer" pathway resulting in the C2H+ 5 ion, by at least two other channels. "Methylene transfer" results in the isotopic C2H2D+ 3 ion, and "eliminative condensation" accompanied by molecular hydrogen ejection results in several C3 ionic products. The reactions are investigated as a function of the collision energy, and their possible mechanisms are discussed.
