Abstract
For the understanding of molecule synthesis in interstellar clouds data on the kinetics of ion-molecule reactions at temperatures below 100 K are needed. A helium-cooled ion drift-tube experiment is described which can provide rate coefficients of ion-molecule reactions in the temperature range 18 to 420 K. Recent measurements are presented of three ion-molecule reactions which show a complex kinetics at low temperatures: the binary reactions of He+ and NH3 + with H2 and the association reaction of N2H+ with H2.
