Abstract Cluster ions of alloys (Li-Na, Li-Mg) have been produced by a liquid metal ion source (LMIS), and analyzed by mass spectrometry. For the Li-Na system, bimetallic clusters with various compositions were formed, and dominant bimetallic species were Na2Li+, NaLi+, NaLi 2 + and NaLi 8 + with this sequence of ion intensity. These clusters are systems containing 2 or 8 valence electrons except for NaLi+. For the Li-Mg, observed bimetallic clusters were limited to only three species (MgLi+, MgLi 2 + and Mg2Li+), but unexpectedly small multiply charged homonuclear clusters, Mg 2 2+ and Mg 3 2+ , were observed.
