ChemInform Abstract: The Characterization of Molecular Boric Acid by Mass Spectrometry and Matrix Isolation IR Spectroscopy.

Molecular H₃BO₃ is obtained by heating crystalline orthoboric acid in vacuo to ∼ 40 °C. The IR spectrum of this species isolated in low-temp.     

ChemInform Abstract: Thermolysis of NH4HCO3: A Simple Way to Free Carbonic Acid,H2CO3, in the Gas Phase.

Mass spectrometric results indicate that thermolysis of NH₄HCO₃ results in the formation of the radical cation CH₂O+· 3 (I), (m/z 62).     

ChemInform Abstract: Matrix Isolation and Mass Spectrometric Studies on Selenium Trioxide Vapour: The Characterisation of Monomeric SeO3.

(SeO₃)₄ is shown to be the major species in the vapour above heated selenium trioxide, while above mixtures of H2SeO4/P2O5 significant portions of monomeric SeO₃ are observed.     

ChemInform Abstract: Direct Observation of New Antimony-containing Anions: SbH2O-, Sb3-, and Monomeric Sb3O5-.

The novel title anions are generated in the source of a mass spectrometer under negative chemical ionization conditions Starting from Sb(OBu)₃.     

ChemInform Abstract: Photoionization Spectra of Cesium and Cesium Oxide Clusters.

Seven cesium and 86 oxidized cesium clusters, CsnOm (0 < m < n; n = 3-14), are ionized in a one-photon process by means of a tunable cw dye laser and detected in a mass spectrometer.
