Transformations of DI(phosphinylsulfide) complexes of Pd(II) during bombardment with fission products of252Cf

Transformations of chelate complexes of Pd(II) with di(phosphinylsulfide) during bombardment with fission products of²⁵²Cf have been investigated for the first time using plasma desorption mass spectrometry. Disproportionation of Pd(II) to Pd(I) and Pd(III) was observed for a number of the complexes studied. Formation of polynuclear complexes in the gas phase was observed.L. V.
