ResumoElectron attachment to perfluoromethane clusters generates CF4−. This compound has not previously been observed in the gas phase. The ion yield curve suggests that the initial electron capture proceeds via the first virtual MO in CF4. CF4− is then stabilized by intermolecular interaction in a negatively charged complex.
