Abstract
Intracluster reactions in the gas-phase cluster of 2-chloroacrylonitrile (CAN) following the collisional electron transfer from a high-Rydberg Kr atom (Kr .. ) were investigated by mass spectrometry. The cluster anions (CAN) n - with n≥1 and [(CAN) n -n'HCl]' with 2≤n≤4 and n'≥1 were observed. The formation of [(CAN) n -n'HCl] - anionic polymerization takes place and that excess energy associated with the polymerization is used for eliminating HCl molecules from the correponding nascent anion in a small size range
