It is proposed that multiply charged water clusters contain varying combinations of the ion pairs H+ (probably as H30+ ) and OH+ (probably as HaO: ) acting as charge carriers. Formation of H+ and OH+ is discussed in terms of single-or double-ioniza-._ tion events on either individual or pairs of water molecules.

Singly charged vanadium cluster ions from an external laser-vaporization source are accumulated in a Penning trap. They are subjected to electron bombardment which leads to further ionization. The charge states produced are analyzed by time-of-flight mass spectrometry after axial ejection from the t
The observation of what are believed to be small multiply charged clusters generated in a laser-produced plasma is reported and discussed, and a possible formation mechanism is proposed. Homonuclear gold cluster ions comprising three atoms and carrying charges of up to + 5, and of four atoms carryin
Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to investigate the main features describing the solvation of an ion pair by a small number of water molecules as a function of the distance between the ions. We have calculated the potential of mean force between the ions and found that it is strongly re
