Description
The amide compound formamide (CH3NO; FA) is a smallest molecule with a peptide bond and is an important biological precursor. Previous dissociative electron attachment studies with deuterated derivatives of FA in gas phase showed that this compound can act as an agent for electron-induced surface functionalisation of hydrogen-terminated materials. In the present study, we investigated the formation of clusters of bare and hydrated FA upon electron interaction, using a crossed electron-cluster beam experiment. We report the formation of bare FA cluster ions up to the hexamer and different FA-H2O clusters upon micro-hydration of FA.
