Molecular asymmetric charge transfer reactions in the systems Ar + –No, Kr + –NO, Ar + –O 2 , Kr + –O 2 and Ar + –CO were studied by an injected-ion drift tube technique in the energy range from 0.04 eV to 3 eV. All reactions have large cross sections in spite of the large exothermicities, and each of them has a minimum. The cross sections in the low energy part have E -1/2 dependence when the reactant is NO, while they have E -1 dependences when the reactant is O 2 or CO. An hypothesis is proposed to explain the large cross sections, but without quantitative treatment.
