Abstract
By laser ablating of anthracene-d(10) sample, various CnDm- and C-n(-) clus ter anions were generated. The distribution suggests that the structural co nfiguration and stability of the clusters varied with the number of deuteri um atoms and the parity of number of carbons. With growing size of the clus ters, their structural configuration changes from chain to monocycle, and f urther to polycycle. The analysis of the distribution also reveals the form ation kinetics of the clusters.
