We clarify the meaning of the term "unimolecular fragmentation". Apparently, there is some confusion relating to our use of the term "unimolecular fragmentation" in our previous paper [ 11. We must emphasize that we do not mean to imply that solvated daughter ions are

✦ Synopsis
Recently, Coolbaugh, Peifer and Garvey reported the observation that the mass spectral peaks attributed to doubly charged NH3 clusters (produced by electron impact ionization) are each composed of seven individual peaks. Two smaller peaks to the left of the parent peak (NH,) :' were explained as being due to unimolecular fragmentation processes within such parent ions. Previous ionization threshold law measurements and other arguments, however, suggest that these ions are formed by prompt dissociative ionization processes during the primary ionization process.

## Abstract Multiphoton ionization of pyridine–ammonia binary clusters was studied using a time‐of‐flight mass spectrometer at 532 nm laser wavelength. The experimental results showed that the main products of the cluster ionization were the protonated cluster ions [(Py)~__n__~(NH~3~)~__m__~H]^+^.
