Angular distribution measurements of KX reactive scattering of a potassium dimer K2 beam by allyl and alkyl halides are reported. The centre of mass differential cross sections are uncertainly determined but distinctly different from the rebound cross sections exhibited by K+CH3I, C2H5I atom reactions. This change of dynamics may be rationalized in terms of the transfer of both K2 valence electrons to the halide molecule. The reaction products seem likely to be a potassium halide and a potassium alkyl or allyl molecule.
