We have studied positive and negative ions in Xe-Cl2, Xe-Br2, and Ar-Br2 mixtures in a drift-tube mass spectrometer. By varying the partial pressure of the halogen gas, we have been able to identify several ion-molecule reaction channels, and have obtained estimates of reaction rate coefficients in the Xe-Br2 case. In no case did we observe stable noble-gas/halogen complexes to be formed.
