Deuterated imidazole (IM) molecules, dimers, and trimers formed in liquid helium nanodroplets are studied by the electrostatic beam deflection method. Monitoring the deflection profile of (IM)D+ provides a direct way to establish that it is the primary product of the ionization-induced fragmentation both of (IM)2 and (IM)3. The magnitude of the deflection determines the electric dipole moments of the parent clusters nearly 9 D for the dimer and 14.5 D for the trimer. These very large dipole values confirm theoretical predic
