ChemInform Abstract: Electron Affinities of the Alkali Halides and the Structure of Their Negative Ions.

The electron affinities obtained from the photoelectron spectra of ten MX^- anions (488 nm) increase with the mass of halogen and decrease with increasing mass of the alkali metal: NaF:0.520, NaCl:0.727, NaBr:0.788, NaI:0.865, KCl:0.582, KBr:0.642, KI:0.728, LiCl:0.593, RbCl:0.543, and CsCl:0.455 eV.
