Electron attachment to complex molecules
Annotation
The intersection of electron terms of the ground state of molecule and of the autodetachment state of negative ion for complex symmetric molecules such as $\mathrm{SF}_6$ is analyzed. Simple theoretical models are used to analyze the measured parameters which characterize the electron attachment to $\mathrm{SF}_6$ and other complex molecules. As a result, the parameters of ultraslow electron attachment to an $\mathrm{SF}_6$ molecule are found for different values of vibrational temperature of the molecule. The parameters are given of the temperature dependence of the rate constant of electron attachment to a number of complex molecules.
