In this review electron attachment processes in the gas phase are described. Electron attachment occurs when electron in collision with atom or molecule forms negative ion. Usually it is a simple two-body collision but in some particular cases very interested, especially for chemists, multi-body processes occur. The results and the discussion on these multi-body thermal electron capture reactions for three groups of compounds, inorganic hydrides, halocarbons and oxygen containing molecules, are presented. It is demonstrated that in all these compounds the electron attachment by van der Waals complexes is much more efficient than by individual molecules and goes through different mechanisms.
