Hydrated divalent nickel clusters, Ni2+(H2O)n (n = 4−7), have been generated through electrospray ionization and studied with laser photofragment spectroscopy. Clusters containing six seven water molecules dissociate by loss of either one or two molecules. In contrast, Ni2+(H2O)4 dissociates via charge reduction, producing H3O+ + NiOH+(H2O)2. The modest kinetic energy release in the product is agreement a salt-bridge dissociation mechanism. Observed cross-sections indicate that hexahydrated...
