The oxides of chlorine have raised a broad interest in the recent years due to the involvement of these molecules in the chemical transformations that lead to depletion of ozone in the Earth’s stratosphere. Dichlorine monoxide Cl2O is thought to play only a minor role in the stratospheric chemistry; however, it is widely used as a laboratory source of ClO, a radical that is central to the catalytic loss of stratospheric ozone.
We have studied negative ion formation following low-energy (0–10 eV) electron impact to gas phase Cl2O molecules. The dominant feature is formation of the transient negative ion (ClOCl−*) by resonant electron capture in the vicinity of 0 eV which decomposes into ClO, Cl, Cl2 and O.
Also observed at higher target pressure is the parent anion ClO2 which arises from an effective charge transfer process involving a metastable complex formed in the collision between the dissociative electron attachment products Cl2 or ClO and the sample molecule ClOCl.
