Using mass spectrometry we show that ion-molecule reactions in the gas phase produce heavy oligomers of the series [nM+H]+ (n up to 6) within the output plume of a heptylamine polymerizing plasma jet flowing into air and N2 blankets. Optimal operating conditions for high yields of heavy oligomers are found.
