N2 - The reactions of protonated water clusters H+ (H2O) n n ≈ 1-50, have been investigated in an FT-ICR instrument under single collision conditions. Collisions with ambient temperature argon result in fragmentation and eventually formation of the n = 4, hydrated hydroxonium cation. With hydrochloric acid the smaller clusters fragment, larger ones also exchange ligand. Clusters having n≥ 11 can exchange one, and n ≥ 17 two, water molecules for HCl. Implications for stratospheric chemistry are discussed.
