Ionization Potentials of Small Carbon Clusters
Abstract
Ionization potentials (IP's) of small carbon clusters (C(sub n), n=3- 6) have been bracketed with an uncertainty of a few tenths of an eV by charge- transfer methods in a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer. Values obtained are compared to previously determined experimental and theoretical values. Several interesting reactions other than charge-transfer were observed between the carbon cluster ions and the charge-transfer reference compounds. The products of these reactions are reported and discussed....
