The dissociative electron-ion recombination processes of CO2+(X ($) over tilde(2) Pi(g):0,0,0) has been studied by observing the CO(A (1) Pi-X (1) Sigma(+)) emission in the He and Ar afterglows. It was found that the CO(A:v’=0-2) states are formed in the dissociative recombination of CO2+(X ($) over tilde:0,0,0) with electrons at thermal energy. The rovibrational distribution of CO(A) was N-0:N-1:N-2=100:(T-0=1000+/-100 K), 58+/-4(T-1=700+/-50 K), and 9+/-2 (T-2=400+/-100 K). The average fractions of total energy channeled into vibration and rotation of CO(A) and relative translation of the products were determined to be [f(v)]=22%+/-2%, [f(r)]=20%+/-2%, and [f(t)]=58%+/-4%. The observed rovibrational distributions were in disagreement with statistical prior distributions, indicating that the reaction dynamics is not governed by the statistical theory. A comparison of the present results with the previous photodissociation data suggested that the CO(A:upsilon’=0,1) states are formed through predissociation of near-resonant intermediate CO2** states coupled with a bent valence state, while the CO(A:upsilon’=2) state is produced through predissociation of CO2** states just above the CO2+(X ($) over tilde:0,0,0) state. The low CO(A:upsilon’=2) population can be explained by the energetic constraint for thermal electrons plus CO2+(X ($) over tilde:0,0,0) and/or a competition between predissociation and autoionization of CO2** states just above the CO2+(X ($) over tilde:0,0,0) energy.
