Abstract We have studied electron transfer from state-selected Rydberg atoms to (CS2) N and CS2(Ar) N clusters and compared the results to Rydberg electron transfer to isolated CS2 molecules. At large Rydberg principal quantum numbers (n〉20), the influence of the positive ionic core becomes negligible and we are able to directly investigate the competition between electronic autodetachment of the anions and intracluster energy exchanges between the anions and their environment. We show that argon atoms are unable to achieve efficient internal energy exchanges in heterogeneous clusters as compared to the high efficiency of CS2 molecules in homogeneous clusters.
