Abstract
The gas-phase, ion molecule reaction between C3O2+ and C3O2 has been s tudied by both double-focusing and ion trap mass spectrometry, rationa lized by the formation of a dimeric, odd electron cation [C6O4](+.) wh ich decomposes extensively through sequential CO losses giving rise to [C5O3](+.) and [C4O2](+.) ions. The thermodynamics of this process ha ve been investigated by means of ab initio calculation performed on th e above species using different basis sets (STO-3G, 3-21G and 6-31G).
