%X The ion-molecule reactions of UF6 in the gas phase were studied in a mass spectrometer fitted with a medium-pressure ion source. The main reactions were the collision-stabilized formation of U2F11+ from UF5+, U2F10+ from UF4+ and U3F16+ from U2F10+. Rate coefficients for the reactions of UF5+ and UF4+ with UF6 and the distribution of their products were found to depend upon the ion kinetic energy.
