مستخلص: Thiazole derivatives are biologically relevant molecules, used also in pharmaceutical applications. Herein, we report results for electron attachment to 2-bromo-5-nitrothiazole (BNT) in the gas phase. Employing two crossed electron–molecule beam experiments, we determined the efficiency curves of various fragment anions as a function of the initial electron energy between about 0 and 10 eV as well as the emission angle and kinetic energy distributions of Br− and NO2− ions formed from a resonance near 4 eV. The experiments were supported by quantum chemical calculations, exploring possible dissociation pathways along with their reaction energies. We also compared the electron attachment characteristics of BNT with those of the native thiazole molecule by performing electron attachment experiments and calculations for this molecule as well. Compared to thiazole, which is primarily degraded only by electrons with kinetic energies between about 5 and 10 eV, BNT is susceptible to low-energy electrons near 0 eV with enhanced cross section for (dissociative) electron attachment. However, although BNT offers two localization sites with high electron affinity (Br and NO2 moieties), we do not find the corresponding anions as the dominant negatively charged species formed upon electron attachment. Instead, the reaction channels with an abstraction of Br and NO2 as neutral radicals prevail, accompanied by the opening of the thiazole ring due to the relatively weak C–S bond.
