The last few years have seen a number of measurements performed of recombinationrates for electrons with (mostly hydrocarbon) polyatomic ions. This review sets out to summarize the work to date and to provide some analysis of trends seen amongst these measurements. A discussion is given of cluster ion recombination which is inherently different from that for covalently bonded molecules. Finally an update of recent investigations of product branching ratios is given with particular reference to merged-beam and afterglow studies of the dissociative recombination of H O .
