Temporary negative ions of benzene, aniline, phenol, anisole, fluoro-, chloro-, and bromobenzene, formed in the gas phase by capture of electrons into the low-lying π* orbitals, are studied by means of electron transmission spectroscopy. The electron affinities are determined and their relative values are interpreted in terms of resonance and inductive effects.

Measurements of electron scattering at low energy from Mg, Zn, Cd and Hg have been carried out using the electron transmission method. A large shape resonance is observed for each element which we identify with the (ns2np)2P ground state of the negative ion. The electron affinities in eV are found to be Mg(–0.15), Zn(–0.49), Cd(–0,33) and Hg(–0.63) with an error of ±0.03 eV. The results are compared with the available theoretical predictions.
