The average kinetic energy (T) released during unimolecular decomposition of protonated ammonia ion clusters, (NH{sub 3}){sub n}H{sup +}, has been measured as a function of cluster size for n = 2-8. There is a pronounced discontinuity in the generally rising function of (T) with n, reflecting the filling of the first solvation shell at n = 5.
