Abstract: | Analytical studies on the thermolysis products from [Cd10Se4(SePh)12(PnPr3)4] are reported leading to the identification of the doubly negatively charged species [Cd17Se4(SePh)28]2−. Electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (ESI FT-ICR MS) has been successfully applied to analyse the composition of a polycrystalline precipitate after treatment with SePh− in tetrahydrofuran (THF). Presumably, SePh− reacts with the insoluble (polymeric) cluster product as a charging ligand leading to dissolved monomeric units of the cluster anion [Cd17Se4(SePh)28]2−. This cluster anion could also be crystallized from solutions as [Na(thf)218-crown-6][Cd17Se4(SePh)28] and [Na(dme)3]2[Cd17Se4(SePh)28]. The experimental results promise a wider applicability of the charged ligand exchange method for the electrospray mass spectrometric characterization of neutral clusters and to obtain intensive monodisperse cluster ion beams for further gas-phase studies. Dedicated to Prof. Dieter Fenske on the occasion of his 65th birthday. |
