We confined ions of different molecules in a Penning quadrupole ion trap and observed the exponential loss of the stored ion cloud as the result of charge exchange collisions with a Na atomic beam passing through the trap. From the ion loss rates and the Na density we determined the charge exchange cross sections between Na and the ions noted in the title at a mean ion energy of 2 eV. The results are in reasonable agreement with theoretical expectations and other experiments.
