The three-body recombination rate for molecular ions is calculated at low density, including the effect of dissociative collisions on the molecular complex initially formed by the recombination process. The effect of an increase in ionic mass due to the attachment of neutral molecules to the ion is also determined. The recombination rate is found to be markedly reduced, by either effect, from that predicted by the elementary Thomson theory.
