Study by ESI‐FTICRMS and ESI‐FTICRMSn of zinc and cadmium thiophenolate complexes used as precursors for the synthesis of II–VI nanosemiconductors

[M₄(SC₆H₅)₁₀][(CH₃)N]₂, [M₁₀L₄(SC₆H₅)₁₆][(CH₃)N]₄ and [Cd₁₇S₄(SC₆H₅)₂₈][(CH₃)N]₂(M = Cd or Zn, and L = S or Se) zinc and cadmium thiophenolates have been studied by electrospray ionization (ESI) Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometry (ESI‐FTICRMS) and tandem ESI‐FTICRMS (ESI‐FTICRMSⁿ). ESI‐FTICRMS demonstrated its ability to characterize and study such compounds, which may be used as precursors of II–VI nanomaterials. The obtained mass spectrum has been found to be highly relevant of the investigated thiophenolate and the fragmentation behavior of some of the detected ions is indicative of its stability. More specifically, it has been demonstrated that ESI in‐source activation or fragmentation experiments conducted in the Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICRMS) cell induced the formation of a very stable entity, which corresponds to the general formula M₄L₄ (M = Zn or Cd and L = S or Se). The elimination of SC₆H₅^? and/or M(SC₆H₅)₂ moieties by various activation processes from the studied thiophenolates led systematically to this structure.
