✦ Synopsis

Thermochemical data, AH:_ I." and ASi_ ],", for the clustering reactions CH: (CH,),_, +CH,=CH: (CH,),, with n= 1-9

were measured using a pulsed electron-beam mass spectrometer. Both -AH:-,,n and -AS:_, ,n show irregular decreases between n = 2 and 3, and 7 and 8, the latter indicating the formation of a shell structure, CH: (CH& ( CH,)5.
