A statistical theory of polyatomic ion--electron dissociative recombination reactions is presented and applied to the calculation of branching ratios for the various sets of neutral products of the reactions HCNH/sup +/+e, H/sub 3/O/sup +/+e, CH/sub 3//sup +/+e, and NH/sub 4//sup +/+e, all thought to be important in interstellar cloud chemistry.
