Electron capture at the carbon–fluorine σ* antibonding orbital accounts for the vector correlations between fragments F − and CF 3 or F and CF 3 − in two complementary dissociation pathways after electron attachment to CF 4 . An orientation effect in the low‐energy electron attachment is observed by velocity mapping (see picture; C black, F blue).
