Investigating resonant low-energy electron attachment to formamide: Dynamics of model peptide bond dissociation and other fragmentation channels
Abstract
We report experimental results on three-dimensional momentum imaging measurements of anions generated via dissociative electron attachment to gaseous formamide. From the momentum images, we analyze the angular and kinetic energy distributions for NH$$_2^{-}$$, O$$^{-}$$, and H$$^{-}$$ fragments and discuss the possible electron attachment and dissociation mechanisms for multiple resonances for two ranges of incident electron energies, from 5.3~eV to 6.8~eV, and from 10.0~eV to 11.5~eV. {\it Ab initio} theoretical results for the angular distributions of the NH$$_2^{-}$$ anion for $$\sim$$6~eV incident electrons, when compared with the experimental results, strongly suggest that one of the two resonances producing this fragment is a $^2$$A$$''$ Feshbach resonance.
