The stabilities of alkali halide cluster ions [M(MX)n]+ (M Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs; X F, Cl, Br, I) have been studied by measuring the fragment ion yields following dissociation of the ions in the second field free region of a ZAB‐2F mass spectrometer. Extractable cluster ions were observed for certain values of n. It was found that the stabilities of the neutral fragment species formed are also of importance in determining the fragmentation rates. Possible configurations of M and X in the stable ions are discussed.
