Hydrated singly charged magnesium ions [Mg(H2O)n]+ are thought to consist of an Mg2+ ion and a hydrated electron for n > 15. This idea is based on mass spectra, which exhibit a transition from [MgOH(H2O)n-1]+ to [Mg(H2O)n]+ around n = 15-22, black-body infrared radiative dissociation, and quantum chemical calculations. Here, we present photodissociation spectra of size-selected [Mg(H2O)n]+ in the range of n = 20-70 measured for photon energies of 1.0-5.0 eV. The spectra exhibit a broad absorptio ...[more]
