3. This is due to the cluster source condition being optimized for the formation of Met-Cars as described in Ref. 1. Under this cluster source condition, other species are present but at concentrations significantly lower than that of the Met-Cars as established by working under conditions of higher photon energy. These other species are not seen in the mass spectra of Fig. 1 because their IPs are higher than the ionization photon energy employed in obtaining the data presented.
4. n (n≤3).
5. Although their values are not reported in this paper, the ablation laser power was monitored during the experiments to verify the ablation condition was maintained to be constant.

19. For this discussion, it is assumed that the adiabatic IPs well approximate the measured (vertical) IPs as expected for the systems of low ionization potential/free electron behavior being considered in this paper.
