Abstract
Protonated ammonia clusters of specific size are observed to form following the resonant enhanced ionization of phenylacetylene–ammonia clusters PA⋅(NH3)n in the 000 region of the S1–S0 transition of the (unclustered) PA. The resonance enhanced absorption of two photons, ≊8.8 eV total energy, are found to cause intracluster reactions for n≥5. The findings imply that the adiabatic ionization potential of (NH3)4 is greater than 8.8 eV, while that of (NH3)5 is (slightly) less.Keywords
