The Coulomb Explosion Imaging (CEI) method was used to determine the structure and photochemistry of carbon clusters. The cyclic structure of C 4 was found using a combination of laser photodetachment techniques and the CEI method. The cyclic C 4 electron affinity was found to be 2.1 ± 0.1 eV, more than 1 eV lower than the electron affinity of the linear isomer.
