The authors report what they believe to be the first experimental proof of the influence of isomeric cluster ions on their dynamics of dissociation, namely, for the cluster ion NH{sub 3}((C{sub 2}H{sub 5}){sub 3}N){sub 3}H{sup +} in the present case. The isomeric structures lead to important consequences in the dynamics of dissociation. No other comparable parallel dissociation processes for cluster ions NH{sub 3}-((C{sub 2}H{sub 5}){sub 3}N){sub m}H{sup +} are observed, establishing that there are no other isomers present for the cluster size range investigated in this work.
