| Electron capture dissociation |
|---|
|
A process in which a multiply protonated molecules interacts with a low energy electrons. Capture of the electron leads the liberation of energy and a reduction in charge state of the ion with the production of the (M + nH) (n-1)+ odd electron ion, which readily fragments. |
| Considered between 2004 and 2006 but not included in the 2006 PAC submission |
