Abstract
The formation of heavy-Rydberg ion-pair states through electron transfer in collisions between K(np) Rydberg atoms and molecules that attach low-energy electrons is investigated. The measurements show that low-n collisions with a wide variety of target species (SF(6), c-C(7)F(14), C(6)F(6), and CCl(4)) can lead to formation of bound ion-pair states and that, under appropriate conditions, a small fraction of these can subsequently dissociate as free ions through internal-to-translational energy transfer. Analysis of the data suggests that those ion pairs that do dissociate typically have lifetimes of approximately 1 micros, although some can have lifetimes of 5 micros or longer.

Abstract
This review presents an overview of electron ionization time-of-flight mass spectroscopy (EITOFMS), beginning with its early development to the employment of modern high-resolution electron ionization sources. The EITOFMS is demonstrated to be ideally suited for analytical and basic chemical physics studies. Studies of the formation of positive ions by electron ionization time-of-flight mass spectroscopy have been responsible for many of the known ionization potentials of molecules and radicals, as well as accepted bond dissociation energies for ions and neutral molecules. The application of TOFMS has been particularly important in the area of negative ion physics and chemistry. A wide variety of negative ion properties have been discovered and studied by using these methods including: autodetachment lifetimes, metastable dissociation, Rydberg electron transfer reactions and field detachment, SF(6) Scavenger method for detecting temporary negative ion states, and many others.

Abstract
The problem of the binding of an excess electron to polar molecules and their clusters has long fascinated researchers. Although excess electrons bound to such species tend to be very extended spatially and to have little spatial overlap with the valence electrons of the neutral molecules, inclusion of electron correlation effects is essential for quantitatively describing the electron binding. The major electron correlation contribution may be viewed as a dispersion interaction between the excess electron and the electrons of the molecule or cluster. Recent work using a one-electron Drude model to describe excess electrons interacting with polar molecules is reviewed.

Abstract
Molecular assemblies held together by weak intermolecular bonds exhibit a rich variety of geometries. Even a simple complex formed by only two molecules can adopt several conformations corresponding to different geometrical isomers. Isomers of small polar dimers can be isolated nondestructively by taking advantage of a selective and reversible ionization process, with the use of a mass spectrometry method that allows the determination and control of the geometrical configuration of neutral or negatively charged molecular complexes in supersonic beams. Here, the method is applied to isolated nucleic acid base pairs that can be selected in stacked or H-bonded configurations.
