Clustering reactions

Hg⁺ +  = (Hg⁺ • )

By formula: Hg⁺ + Ar = (Hg⁺ • Ar)

Hg⁺ +  = (Hg⁺ • )

By formula: Hg⁺ + Hg = (Hg⁺ • Hg)

(Hg⁺ • 4) +  = (Hg⁺ • 5)

By formula: (Hg⁺ • 4Hg) + Hg = (Hg⁺ • 5Hg)

(Hg⁺ • 5) +  = (Hg⁺ • 6)

By formula: (Hg⁺ • 5Hg) + Hg = (Hg⁺ • 6Hg)

(Hg⁺ • 6) +  = (Hg⁺ • 7)

By formula: (Hg⁺ • 6Hg) + Hg = (Hg⁺ • 7Hg)

(Hg⁺ • 7) +  = (Hg⁺ • 8)

By formula: (Hg⁺ • 7Hg) + Hg = (Hg⁺ • 8Hg)

(Hg⁺ • 8) +  = (Hg⁺ • 9)

By formula: (Hg⁺ • 8Hg) + Hg = (Hg⁺ • 9Hg)

(Hg⁺ • 9) +  = (Hg⁺ • 10)

By formula: (Hg⁺ • 9Hg) + Hg = (Hg⁺ • 10Hg)

(Hg⁺ • 10) +  = (Hg⁺ • 11)

By formula: (Hg⁺ • 10Hg) + Hg = (Hg⁺ • 11Hg)

(Hg⁺ • 11) +  = (Hg⁺ • 12)

By formula: (Hg⁺ • 11Hg) + Hg = (Hg⁺ • 12Hg)

(Hg⁺ • 12) +  = (Hg⁺ • 13)

By formula: (Hg⁺ • 12Hg) + Hg = (Hg⁺ • 13Hg)

(Hg⁺ • 13) +  = (Hg⁺ • 14)

By formula: (Hg⁺ • 13Hg) + Hg = (Hg⁺ • 14Hg)
