22. This is different to anion fragment formation via dissociative electron attachment in the gas phase, where the initial parent anion can also decay by electron autodetachment; for parent cations this decay channel is absent, while for large polyatomic parent anions the electron autodetachment decay channel can be significantly reduced.
