The production of H{sub 2}{sup +} and H{sub 3}{sup +} fragments upon dissociation of ammonia and methane molecules following collisions with fast ions involves rearrangements of the molecular bonds. By examining the relative probabilities for bond rearrangement in collisions between 1 MeV/amu F{sup 7+} ions or 4 MeV protons and NH{sub 3}, ND{sub 3}, CH{sub 4}, and CD{sub 4}, we are able to investigate the rearrangement process as a function of the initial target geometry and search for isotopic effects that could give clues about the rearrangement mechanism. Technical aspects of the experiment due to the use of the heavier isotopes or the highly-charged projectiles are also discussed.
