Description
Fully resolved mass spectra of carbon monoxide clusters have been recorded in the size range n ≤ 320. Intensity anomalies in these spectra beyond n=135 are strikingly similar to those being observed in krypton and xenon spectra. Particularly pronounced intensity drops occur at n=147 and 309. For the first time, these data provide evidence for icosahedral structure in large molecular cluster ions. Concerning doubly charged CO clusters, their lower size limit has been measured to be nc=98.
