Abstract Within the adiabatic channel treatment of ionmolecule capture we have calculated the low temperature capture rate constants of N2(1Σ g + ) and O2(3Σ g − )in collisions with positive and negative ions. In both cases, the charge-quadrupole and the anisotropic charge-induced dipole interactions produce noticeable deviations from the Langevin rate constant. The rate constants calculated with account for the anisotropic interaction, in addition, are substantially affected by nuclear symmetry; in the case of O2(3Σ g − ), the fine-structure spin-spin interaction strongly manifests itself in the rate constants.
