Abstract

A striking difference in the clustering efficiency of Ti⁺ and TiO⁺ toward N₂ or O₂ has been observed in a laser vaporizationhigh pressure mass spectrometric source. Evidence for the magic number n=5 within the sequence TiO⁺(N₂) _n is presented. The results are consistent with an octahedral structure for TiO⁺(N₂)₅.
