Based on the theoretical results, we assign the lowest-energy feature in the electron transmission spectrum of C2F6 to the 2Eu groundstate anion and the second feature to overlapping 12Au, 12A1g, 22Au, and 12Eg anion states. It is also proposed that the bimodal kinetic energy distribution of the F- ions produced in the dissociative attachment of near 5 eV electrons on C2F6 is due to the Jahn-Teller effect. {\copyright} 2000 American Chemical Society.} }
