A new unified treatment for electron-ion recombination is employed to obtain recombination rate coefficients for silicon, sulfur, and carbon ions of importance in the study of the interstellar medium and H II regions in general. Improved and extended results are also presented for ions in the carbon isoelectronic sequence. Recombination rate coefficients are tabulated at a wide range of temperatures, from 10¹ to l0⁹ K. These rates correspond to total electron-ion recombination incorporating both the radiative and dielectronic recombination processes calculated in an ab initio manner.
