The photoionization process of NH4(NH3)n and NH4(NH3)m(H2O)n radicals produced by an ArF excimer laser photolysis of ammonia clusters and ammonia–water mixed clusters are examined using time-of-flight mass spectroscopy. The ionization potentials (IPs) of NH4(NH3)n (n=0−35) and NH4(NH3)m(H2O)n (m=0−4, n=0−3) are determined by the photoionization threshold measurements. The binding energies of NH4(NH3)n−1−NH3 (n=1−6) are estimated from IPs. The results indicate that the bonding between NH4 and NH3 is semi-ionic. The IPs for the large ammoniated NH4 clusters decrease with increasing n up to 35. The limiting value (n→∞) is found to be 1.33 eV, which coincides with the photoemission threshold of liquid NH3. This feature is similar to those found recently for alkali-atom–ammonia clusters. A clear trend is found for the IPs of NH4(NH3)m(H2O)n; the clusters containing more water molecules have higher IP. This trend is ascribed to the large binding energy of comparing with that of .
