Abstract

We report the first observation of almost exclusive three-body breakup in the dissociative recombination of a covalent triatomic molecular ion O3+. The three-body channel, constituting about 94% of the total reactivity, has been investigated in detail. The atomic fragments are formed in only the first two electronic states, P3 and D1, while formation in the S1 state has not been observed. The breakup predominantly proceeds through dissociative states with linear geometry.
