Notes:
The reactions of Si+ with CH3SiH3, CH3SiD3, C2H6, and CH3CHD2 have been studied in a tandem mass spectrometric apparatus over the kinetic energy range of 1–10 eV laboratory-frame-of reference (LAB). In all systems, the major process is the formation of SiCH+3, as well as SiCH2D+ and SiCHD+2 in the case of the reaction with CH3CHD2. It is shown that in the reaction of Si+ with CH3SiH3 and CH3SiD3, the process is best described as a Walden inversion, while in the reaction with C2H6 and CH3CHD2, the process appears to approximate the spectator stripping model or modified spectator stripping (polarization-reflection model). In the reaction with CH3CHD2, the slight preference of Si+ to strip the CH3 radical rather than the CHD2 radical is shown to be in accord with a cross-sectional energy dependence of approximately E−1.
