Electron attachment to chlorine azide at 298 and 400 K.
Electron attachment to chlorine azide (ClN(3)) was studied using a flowing-afterglow Langmuir-probe apparatus. Electron attachment rates were measured to be 3.5x10(-8) and 4.5x10(-8) cm(3) s(-1) at 298 and 400 K, respectively, with an estimated 35% absolute accuracy. Cl(-) was the sole ion product of the attachment reaction; weak ion signals were observed for other anions and attributed to impurities and secondary ion-molecule reactions. Assuming a relative uncertainty of +/-10% for these data, an activation energy for the attachment reaction may be given as 24+/-10 meV.
