✦ Synopsis
We report a rapid increase in the propensity of D,O molecules to incorporate into (H,O); clusters upon collisions between D,O and a distribution of (H*O);, 6< n c 25, clusters. We interpret this effect by invoking a size-dependent associative electron detachment cross section which increases rapidly for ni IS. The implications of this detachment process on the "magic numbers" in the (H,O); distribution are discussed.
