Clustering of Water on Hydrated Protons in a Supersonic Free Jet Expansion.
Abstract
The paper presents results concerning size distribution and growth in the gas phase of ions in the series H+(H2O)n. The measurements span a range of cluster sizes up to n = 28, a domain not previously investigated quantitatively. The molecular beam sampling technique developed for this study promises to be a powerful tool in the study of ion nucleation phenomenon. Noteworthy observations include the unusual stability of the cluster with n = 21 and the absence of trapped molecules of carrier gas within a cluster. (Author)
