Abstract
The study of the reaction of O- with HD is a follow-up to the study of reactions of O- with H2 and with D2. The reaction of O- with HD has three exothermic channels, a dominant channel of an associative detachment, which produces HDO, and two minor channels of OH- and OD- production.
The O- with HD was studied in the temperature range 42-192 K using a 22-pole ion trap apparatus.
