Description/Abstract The relationship between the pressure-dependent electron attachment rate constants which have been observed in 1-C/sub 3/F/sub 6/ and in several perfluoroalkanes and the uniform field breakdown strengths (E/N)/sub lim/ in these gases is discussed.^Also discussed are the various types of synergistic behavior in (E/N)/sub lim/ which have been observed in binary dielectric gas mixtures.^For the latter, a new mechanism is outlined which explains the synergism observed in several gas mixtures where the (E/N)/sub lim/ values of the mixtures are greater than those of the individual gas constituents, which we call positive synergism.^Model calculations are presented which support this mechanism and can be used to explain the pressure-dependent synergistic effects which have been reported in 1-C/sub 3/F/sub 6//SF/sub 6/ and other gas mixtures.^Experimentally observed ion--molecule reaction processes for several gases are discussed which support the proposed mechanism.^Based on this mechanism, we outline several conditions which must be fulfilled in order to observe positive synergistic behavior in dielectric gas mixtures.
