Dissociation dynamics of the temporary negative ions of ethanol and acetaldehyde formed by the low-energy electron attachments is investigated by using the anion velocity map imaging technique and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. The momentum images of the dominant fragments O(-)/OH(-) and CH3 (-) are recorded, indicating the low kinetic energies of O(-)/OH(-) for ethanol while the low and high kinetic energy distributions of O(-) ions for acetaldehyde. The CH3 (-) image for acetaldehyde also shows the low kinetic energy. With help of the dynamics simulations, the fragmentation processes are qualitatively clarified. A new cascade dissociation pathway to produce the slow O(-) ion via the dehydrogenated intermediate, CH3CHO(-) (acetaldehyde anion), is proposed for the dissociative electron attachment to ethanol. After the electron attachment to acetaldehyde molecule, the slow CH3 (-) is produced quickly in the two-body dissociation with the internal energy redistributions in different aspects before bond cleavages.
