Abstract

We report in this communication the cluster ion intensity distributions of the (C₂H₂)_n(C₃H₆O) _m⁺ and (C₂H₂)_n(C₂H₃O) _m⁺ cluster ions produced by electron impact ionization of acetylene/acetone heteroclusters. Both of these heterocluster ions display a maximum ("magic number") at n = 2. The behavior of this magic number, which is observed only under conditions favoring production of large neutral clusters, is similar to that previously observed by us in the case of ethene clusters [Chem. Phys. Lett. 1990, 168, 337]. We propose that the observed magic number ions arise as a consequence of the production of the covalently bonded cyclic molecular ions C₇H₁₀O⁺ and C₆H₇O⁺ by intracluster ion-molecule polymerization reactions.
