Intracluster reactions in the gas-phase cluster of 2-chloroacrylonitrile (CAN) following the collisional electron transfer from a high-Rydberg Kr atom (Kr**) were investigated by mass spectrometry. The cluster anions (CAN); with n 2 1 and [(CAN),-n'HCll-with 2 I n I 4 and n ' l 1 were observed. The formation of [(CAN),-n'HCI]-indicates that intracluster anionic polymerization takes place and that excess energy associated with the polymerization is used for eliminating HCl molecules from the corresponding nascent anion in a small size range.

M compounds were non-sorptive. The systematic study of the sorption isotherms for all the compound-gas systems revealed the dependence of the types of the isotherms and that of heats of sorption upon the size of the gas molecules and that of the intercalated alkali metals. Sorption from gas mixtures was also studied for several selected systems, to manifest the actual molecular-sieving action of C

by means of neutron diffraction technique confirmed that the sorption is due to the occlusion of the gas molecules between the intercalated carbon layers of graphite, and also suggested that the compounds 'swell up’ by sorption. Based on these results, the relation between the structure of the compounds and the sorption characteristics was discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
