ABSTRACT The temperature dependence of five ion-molecule association reactions and three ion-molecule equilibria have been determined using a high pressure source in which the electron beam is pulsed. The temperature dependence of the rate constants takes the form k=CTem and values of m have been compared with literature values and theoretical predictions. No reason for the discrepancies between the various values can be given. Thermodynamic data derived from the variation of equilibrium constants with temperature are in excellent agreement with literature data.
