52. This calculation is performed using the exact hard spheres scattering (EHSS) model 48. However, a sphere has no concave surface elements, so its EHSS collision integral equals 48 the orientationally averaged projection determined by the projection approximation 18. The He collision radius of (Formula presented) was assumed.

54. Because of the upper limit of quadrupole mass spectrometer range equal to ∼4000 amu 21, this transition has been followed for the doubly charged (Formula presented) cations. However, the structures of (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) for the slightly smaller sizes (Formula presented) are very similar 21. We have also found that the structural transitions in (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) take place over the exact same size range of (Formula presented) [A. A. Shvartsburg and M. F. Jarrold (unpublished)].
55. A. A. Shvartsburg and M. F. Jarrold (unpublished). The conclusion 21 that the large (Formula presented) clusters are not spherical preceded the development of sophisticated techniques 485152 for the modeling of gas phase mobilities of polyatomic ions.

62. The collision integrals of all species are inversely correlated with buffer gas temperature. In calculations, this can be crudely accounted for via a temperature-dependent He collision radius 5859. When evaluating the cross sections for spheres at 78 and 378 K, we have adjusted R so that the values for the smallest (Formula presented) clusters, the mobilities of which are only weakly sensitive to geometry 2223, would match those found at 305 K. This has produced (Formula presented) at 78 K and 1.09 Å at 378 K (assuming the bulk density of β-tin).

66. For larger clusters, the values at 305 K appear to be slightly higher. It is not clear at this juncture if this carries any structural information. It might be due to a marginal thermal annealing.
