The authors report in this communication the cluster ion intensity distributions of the (C[sub 2]H[sub 2])[sub n](C[sub 3]H[sub 6]O)[sub m][sup +] and (C[sub 2]H[sub 2])[sub n](C[sub 2]H[sub 3]O)[sub m][sup +] cluster ions produced by electron impact ionization of acetylene/acetone heteroclusters. Both of these heterocluster ions display a maximum (magic number) at n = 2. The behavior of this magic number, which is observed only under conditions favoring production of large neutral clusters, is similar to that previously observed by the authors in the case of ethene clusters. The authors propose that the observed magic number ions arise as a consequence of the production of the covalently bonded cyclic molecular ions C[sub 7]H[sub 10]O[sup +] and C[sub 6]H[sub 7]O[sup +] by intracluster ion-molecule polymerization reactions.
