Charge transfer processes in collisions of slow highly charged ions with polar molecules CO and C3H8

Charge transfer processes resulting from low energy collisions of polar molecules CO and C3H8 with highly charged Be2+ and B2+ ions have been investigated experimentally and theoretically. The potential for the one–electron exchange interaction between a polar molecule and highly charged atomic ion were obtained in closed analytical form in the framework of a semiclassical approach. Obtained results were used for close–coupling calculations of total cross sections for single electron transfer in the studied reactions.
