Several association and switching reactions involving clusters of Na(+) ions with stratospheric neutral molecules have been examined at temperatures not greater than 420 K with a flow-tube apparatus. These measurements indicate that sodium compounds, NaX, that react with the H3O(+)-nH2O ions in the stratosphere will convert these ions into the clusters NaOH2(+)-nH2O, thereby supporting the recent assignment of these clusters as some of the ions observed during stratospheric rocket and balloon flights. Moreover, the rate constants for the association of Na(+) with N2 and CO2, together with the bond dissociation of Na(+)-N2 and Na(+)-CO2 clusters, support the contention that the formation of the sodium cluster ions in the mesosphere can greatly increase the effective rate of electron recombination with sodium ions.
