Low energy electron attachment (DEA) to hexafluoroacetone azine (HFAA) leads to a remarkable energy selective excision of CN(-) within a pronounced resonance located at 1.35 eV. The underlying dissociative electron attachment (DEA) reaction involves multiple bond cleavages and rearrangement within the neutral products. A series of further fragment ions (F(-), CF(3)(-), (CF(3))(2)C(-) and (CF(3))(2)CN(-)) are observed from resonant features above 2 eV and only (CF(3))(2)CN(-) is additionally formed within a narrow resonance below 1 eV. In contrast to CN(-) all the remaining fragment ions can be formed by simple bond cleavages with (CF(3))(2)CN(-) being the result of a symmetric decomposition of the target molecule by cleavage of the (N-N) bond with the excess charge localised on either of the identical fragments. Our ab initio calculations predict an adiabatic electron affinity of HFAA close to 2 eV with the geometry of the relaxed anion considerably distorted with respect to that of the neutral molecule.
