摘要

Clustersand their fragments contain up to 12 acetone molecules, produced by supersonic expansion jet, are observed in the time-of-flight mass spectrum under 355 nm laser irradiation. The calculations using density functional theory give structures and the energies of the ground state acetone clusters for n = 2 similar to 5. The results show that a near perpendicular structure is steady for 2-acetone cluster, while a circle structure is more steady for the clusters contain 3 to 5 acetone molecules.
