Abstract
Recent studies on the formation of XH(3)(+) noble gas complexes have shown strategic implications for the composition of the atmospheres of the giant planets as well as for the composition of comets. One crucial factor in the astrophysical process is the relative abundances of the noble gases versus H(3)(+). It is the context in which the possibility for clustering with more than one noble gas (X(n)H(3)(+) up to n = 3) has been investigated for noble gases X ranging from neon to krypton. In order to assert our results, a variety of methods have been used including ab initio coupled cluster CCSD and CCSD(T), MP2, and density functional BH&HLYP levels of theory. All complexes with one, two, and three noble gases are found to be stable in the Ne, Ar, and Kr families. These stable structures are planar with the noble gases attached to the apices of the H(3)(+) triangle. The binding energy of the nth atom, defined as the X(n)H(3)(+) --> X(n-1)H(3)(+) + X reaction energy, increases slightly with n varying from 1 to 3 in the neon series, while it decreases in the argon series and shows a minimum for n = 2 in the krypton series. The origin of this phenomenon is to be found in the variations in the respective vibrational energies. A topological analysis of the electron localization function shows the importance of the charge transfer from the noble gases toward H(3)(+) as a driving force in the bonding along the series. It is also consistent with the increase in the atomic polarizabilities from neon to krypton. Rotational constants and harmonic frequencies are reported in order to provide a body of data to be used for the detection in laboratory prior to space observations. This study strongly suggests that the noble gases could be sequestered even in an environment where the H(3)(+) abundance is small.

Abstract
Neutral hydrogen clusters are grown in ultracold helium nanodroplets by successive pickup of hydrogen molecules. Even-numbered hydrogen cluster cations are observed upon electron-impact ionization with and without attached helium atoms and in addition to the familiar odd-numbered H(n)(+). The helium matrix affects the fragmentation dynamics that usually lead to the formation of overwhelmingly odd-numbered H(n)(+). The use of high-resolution mass spectrometry allows the unambiguous identification of even-numbered H(n)(+) up to n approximately = 120 by their mass excess that distinguishes them from He(n)(+), mixed He(m)H(n)(+), and background ions. The large range in size of these hydrogen cluster ions is unprecedented, as is the accuracy of their definition. Apart from the previously observed magic number n=6, pronounced drops in the abundance of even-numbered cluster ions are seen at n=30 and 114, which suggest icosahedral shell closures at H(6)(+)(H(2))(12) and H(6)(+)(H(2))(54). Possible isomers of H(6)(+) are identified at the quadratic configuration interaction with inclusion of single and double excitations (QCISD)/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory.

Abstract
The affinity of H(3) (+) to combine with noble gases X has been investigated from neon to xenon using ab initio coupled cluster [CCSD and CCSD(T)] and density functional BH&HLYP levels of theory. For all noble gases, the stable structures belong to a C(2v) symmetry with an apex of the H(3) (+) triangle pointing to the noble gas. The structure of the complexes changes gradually from a practically pure Ne-H(3) (+) arrangement to a situation close to XeH(+)-H(2). A topological analysis of the electron localization function is used to illustrate the changes in the bonding along the series. The lowest dissociation energies of NeH(3) (+) and ArH(3) (+) ( approximately 1 and approximately 7 kcalmol) correspond to the breaking of the complexes according to X+H(3) (+), while the lowest dissociation energies of KrH(3) (+) and XeH(3) (+) ( approximately 8 and approximately 3 kcalmol) correspond to the breaking according to XH(+)+H(2). Rotational constants and harmonic frequencies are reported. Apart from XeH(3) (+) whose dipole moment (mu=2.6 D) may not be large enough, all the other complexes with dipole moments in the range of 6-8 D should be reasonable targets for detection by microwave spectroscopy. The present calculations are intended to stimulate both laboratory experiments and spatial observations since the possible sequestration of noble gases by H(3) (+) may have strong implications on the composition of astrophysical objects.

Abstract
The thermal equilibrium state of H+(5) is investigated by means of an ab initio path integral molecular dynamics (PIMD) method, in which degrees of freedom of both nuclei and electrons at finite temperature are quantized within the adiabatic approximation. The second-order Moller-Plesset force field has been employed for the present ab initio PIMD. At 5-200 K, H+(5) is shown to have the structure that the proton is surrounded by the two H(2) units without any exchange of an atom between the central proton and the H(2) unit. At 5 K, the quantum tunneling of the central proton occurs more easily when the distance between the two H(2) units is shortened. At the high temperature of 200 K, the central proton is more delocalized in space between the two H(2) units, with less correlation with the stretching of the distance between the two H(2) units. As for the rotation of the H(2) units around the C(2) axis of H+(5) , the dihedral angle distribution is homogeneous at all temperatures, suggesting that the two H(2) units freely rotate around the C(2) axis, while this quantum effect on the rotation of the H(2) units becomes more weakened with increasing temperature. The influence of the structural fluctuation of H+(5) on molecular orbital energies has been examined to conclude that the highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy gap is largely reduced with the increase of temperature because of the spatial expansion of the whole cluster.

Abstract
High-energy collisions ( 60 keV/amu) of hydrogen cluster ions with a helium target have been completely analyzed on an event-by-event basis. By selecting specific decay reactions we can start after the energizing collision with a microcanonical cluster ion ensemble of fixed excitation energy and we derive corresponding temperatures of the decaying cluster ions. The relation between the temperature and the excitation energy (caloric curve) exhibits the typical prerequisites of a first-order phase transition in a finite system, in the present case signaling the transition from a bound cluster to the gas phase.
