| contents | Dissociative electron attachment (DEA) shows functional group-dependent site selectivity in the $H^-$ ion channel. In this context, the thiol functional group has yet to be studied in great detail, although this functional group carries importance in radiation damage studies where the low-energy secondary electrons are known to induce damage through the DEA process. We report detailed measurements of absolute cross-sections and momentum images of various anion fragments formed in the DEA process in simple aliphatic thiols. We also compare the observed dynamics with that reported earlier in hydrogen sulphide, the precursor molecule for this functional group and also with aliphatic alcohols. Our findings show substantial resemblance in the underlying dynamics in these compounds and point to a possible generalisation of these features in the DEA to thiols. We also identify various pathways that contribute to the $S^-$ and $SH^-$ channels. |
