Abstract
AbstractA drift chamber mass spectrometer has been used to study the formation of water cluster‐ions in carbon dioxide containing traces of water vapour. The dominant reaction sequences were identified up to the fourth generation of daughter ions starting with CO+2. The subsequent reaction mechanism remains uncertain and several possibilities are discussed. The final ions are H3O+ H2O and H3O+ (H2O)2. The significance of the reaction schemes to the radiation chemistry of carbon dioxide is pointed out.
