摘要: Evidence for the existence of magic numbers cluster ions argon atoms and nitrogen molecules has been found with high molecular weight mass spectra their ions. The observed 145, 303, 550, 912 in coincides within experimental error limit number particles required complete shell icosahedra. Failure to observe similar structures polyatomic molecule differences between ion are discussed.
