Clusters of furan molecules undergo photoionization by 248 nm excimer laser radiation and mass analysis in a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Ions of the formula (C4H4O)n+ are observed from n = 1 to n &gt; 20. Selected cluster ions are isolated with a time-based double-pulse mass gate and probed by photofragmentation (1064, 532, 355 nm). The fragmentation patterns are analyzed for information about parent cluster ion structures.
