Deuterium iodide (DI) has properties similar to hydrogen iodide (HI) as expected, though the cross sections for the deuterated isotope tend to be smaller. The attachment rate constant is ∼8 × 10−14 m3/s (Christophorou et al., 1968), the ion formed being I− due to dissociative attachment. Table 16.1 shows the electron attachment data for DI and HI. Table 16.2 and Figure 16.1 show the attachment cross sections for DI.
