C/sub 3/ /sub 4/ /sub 5//sup -/ and NCO/sup +/ /sup -/ molecular ion structure determination by Coulomb explosion

The purpose of these experiments is to acquire structural information about molecules through their Coulomb explosion in thin carbon foils. The data presented here relate to the structure of C/sub 3//sup -/, C/sub 4//sup -/, C/sub 5//sup -/, NCO/sup -/, and NCO/sup +/ molecular ions where the resulting multiple charged ions from the Coulomb explosion were detected in polycarbonate sheets. A preliminary analysis of the C/sub 3//sup -/ and NCO/sup -/ molecular structure data has been made and is presented here; however, the C/sub 4//sup -/, C/sub 5//sup -/, and NCO/sup +/ molecular data has not yet been analyzed
