The dimer dissociation energies of gold cluster ions Au+_n, n=9, 11, 13, 15 have been
determined with an extension of a recently developed model-independent method. Monomer-dimer
decay pathway branching ratios provide the energy dependent process which is needed in this method.
The measured values are 
eV, 
eV,
eV and 
eV.
