35. As will become clear soon, most of the energy available in the collisions that we are studying will come from converting the cation-anion Coulomb attraction energy to relative translational energy. The initial internal vibrational-rotational energy of the cation or anion will be a small fraction of the total energy and can therefore be ignored.

42. Electron-cation and anion-cation collision cross sections are usually considerably greater than, for example, gas-kinetic cross sections, especially when the relative kinetic energies are low. It is the effect of the long-range Coulomb attractive potentials that makes these collision cross sections so large.
43. + sites are separated by more rigid units than methylene groups, so one could be more confident about knowing the distance between these two sites.
44. The radial sizes of orbitals vary inversely as the square root of their electron binding energies. Because the Rydberg and σ* binding energies differ by a factor of 2, the radial sizes of the corresponding orbitals will be similar.

46. We choose this electron energy because it is characteristic of the low-energy ECD experiments to which we are trying to relate.

48. -1/2. Therefore, for electrons that have kinetic energy in the 0.1 -eV range, as we are considering here, the cross section is expected to be somewhat larger than that stated here.

50. These values are obtained by simply adding the unscreened Coulomb potentials of the two positive sites at the center of the S-S or C=O bond. We have shown (for example, see Skurski, P.; Simons, J.; Wang, X.-B.; Wang, L.-S. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2000, 122, 4499-4507) that there is little, if any, dielectric screening produced by bonds within a molecule. The dielectric screening would be substantial if the molecule were surrounded by a bulk material that has a significant dielectric constant.
