Abstract
In order to optically dissociate an SF6 molecule into neutral components, it has been necessary to use high power lasers able to induce multiple 10 μm photon transitions in the molecule [1] However, it has been shown [2] [3] that if an SF6 molecule is first excited but of the first vibrational state, and, then, scavenges a nearly zero energy electron, the negative molecular ion dissociate.
