A - 28<br />

In a continuous neat supersonic expansion ammonia clusters are generated and doped with<br />

sodium atoms in a pickup cell. In this way Na(NH3)n clusters are produced and photoionized by<br />

a tunable dye laser system. The ions are mass analyzed in a reflectron time-<strong>of</strong>-flight mass<br />

spectrometer, and the wavelength dependent ion signals serve for the determination <strong>of</strong> the<br />

ionization potentials (IP) <strong>of</strong> the different clusters in the size range 10 < n < 500. For clusters n <<br />

18 the results agree with those published previously. 1 In particular, the plateau for 10 < n
