Abstract
The acid-base interaction could be visualized in the mass spectra of c lusters isolated from solutions. The butyric acid-pyridine acid-base s ystem in acetonitrile afforded clusters in which (butyric acid)(1)(pyr idine), complex behaves like an unit species; on the contrary, the but yric acid-pyrazine system afforded clusters in which butyric acid clus ters, (butyric acid)(n), hold main structure. This clear difference is reasonably related with the relatively strong and weak acid-base inte ractions.
