Title: Metastable Dissociation of the Doubly Charged Carbon Monoxide Ion
Abstract:The metastable dissociation of CO2+ ions has been studied. The appearance potentials of CO2+ (M / q = 14) and the O+ and C+ daughter products were found equal at 41.5 ± 0.4 eV.

The appearance potentials of CO2+ (M / q = 14) and the O+ and C+ daughter products were found equal at 41.5 ± 0.4 eV. The kinetic-energy release was found to be 5.75 ± 0.2 eV. The half-life was 20 + 10 or − 5 μsec, and no CO2+ ions of half-life longer than this were observed. It is concluded that the metastable dissociation of CO2+ proceeds via a tunneling mechanism consistent with previous suggestions in this regard.Read More
