Abstract
So far as I am aware, no attempt has been made to study chemical reactions and in particular discharge reactions by means of the mass-spectrograph. Thus Lunt1, in reviewing the numerous theories of discharge reactions including ion clusters, excited or metastable molecules, kinetic ions, etc., considers that there are no direct grounds for assuming the existence of compound ion formation except in the case of H3+.
