The decay of a N2 (v= 1) molecule within a N& cluster, causing subsequent loss of a "magic" number of molecules from the cluster, is modeled statistically. Up to clusters of size n = 19, the losses are explicable with a constant average binding energy of 660+30cm-'.

✦ Synopsis
SIMS and FAB of solid N, generated large Nl, clusters (Nf -Nc4) which showed three types of metastable decay: (i) loss of a single N, molecule, assigned to ordinary ("thermal") metastability, (ii) nearly total disintegration, assigned to radiationless decay of an electronically excited state, and (iit) "magic" losses of very specific small numbers of N, molecules, assigned to N,(u = 1) vibrational relaxation by use of isotope effects. Average N, binding energies are estimated.

## Abstract We report on the gas phase reactions of small Fe^+^~__n__~ clusters (__n__ = 2–10) with O~2~, N~2~O and CO~2~ in an FT‐ICR mass spectrometer. Under our experimental conditions, clusters of all sizes reacted readily with O~2~ and all but the dimer reacted with N~2~O. Only the smallest Fe
Calculations including electron correlation have been performed for the PdlN2 molecule. Geometry optimizations of different structures of this system were performed to find out if N1 is molecularly or dissociatively bound to Pd2. Two structures were found to be almost equally stable with calculated
