Neutral C 3 O has been prepared by collision induced neutralisation of the precursor radical anion formed by the reaction À CC-CO-OEt → C 3 O ÀÁ EtO Á . The similar neutralisation reionisation ( À NR ) and charge reversal (CR) spectra of C 3 O ÀÁ indicate that the potential surfaces of C 3 O and C 3

✦ Synopsis
Computations at the RCCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVDZ//B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory indicate that neutral C 6 CO is a stable species. The ground state of this neutral is the singlet cumulene oxide :C=C=C=C=C=C=C=O. The adiabatic electron affinity and dipole moment of singlet C 6 CO are 2.47 eV and 4.13 D, respectively, at this level of theory. The anion (C 6 CO) ÀÁ should be a possible precursor to this neutral. It has been formed by an unequivocal synthesis in the ion source of a mass spectrometer by the S N 2(Si) reaction between (CH 3 ) 3 Si-CC-CC-CC-CO-CMe 3 and F À to form À CC-CC-CC-CO-CMe 3 which loses Me 3 CÁ in the source to form C 6 CO ÀÁ . Charge stripping of this anion by vertical Franck-Condon oxidation forms C 6 CO, characterised by the neutralisation-reionisation spectrum ( À NR ) of C 6 CO ÀÁ , which is stable during the timeframe of this experiment (10 À6 s).

## Abstract Collision experiments on NS^−^~x~ (x = 2, 3) clusters are reported. Evidence is presented for the gas‐phase existence of the corresponding NS^.^~x~ and NS^+^~x~ species. For x = 3, the mass spectra are very much in keeping with a connectivity SS‐NS (5) for all three charge states. For x
