Abstract

A metastable, triply charged, diatomic molecular ion, CS3+, has been discovered in collisions of O- and Si- with CS2 at an impact energy of 40-70 keV. Concomitant configuration interaction calculations of potential energy curves and electron density distributions have been carried out which indicate that the lowest-energy 2 Sigma g state of this molecular ion is metastable for at least 3 mu s. Predictions are made of the values of the kinetic energies released upon dissociation of the lowest-energy 2,4,6 Sigma g and 2,4 Pi g states of CS3+.
