Abstract

Methanol adsorption sites on NanI+n-1 ions were investigated. Photoexcitation to charge-transfer states of NanI+n-1 (methanol) predominantly produces two fragment ions: Nan-1I+n-2 (methanol) (neutral NaI loss) and Nan-1I+n-2(neutral NaI and methanol loss), without forming NanI+n-1 (methanol loss). The relative intensities of these fragments are correlated with the geometries and binding energies.
