Abstract
Methane and cyclopropane (c-C3H6) were reacted with Ru+ ions in a room temperature ion trap and the resulting products were identified using a combination of mass spectrometry, IR action spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations. In the reaction with methane, no products with odd numbers of carbon atoms were located, whereas significant amounts of products with even numbers of carbon atoms were observed. We identified [Ru,2C,4H]+ as the Ru+ ion with an ethene ligand attached, and [Ru,4C,6H]+ as a Ru(η4-cis-1,3-butadiene)+ complex. The barrier toward formation of Ru(C2H4)+ + 2H2 was calculated at the B3LYP/def2-TZVPPD level to be 0.80 eV above the energy of the ground state Ru+ (4F) + 2 CH4 reactants. In the reaction of c-C3H6 with Ru+, we identified the dehydrogenation product [Ru,3C,4H]+ as Ru(η2-propyne)+, [Ru,2C,2H]+ as Ru+ with an ethyne ligand, and [Ru,5C,5H]+ as Ru(η5-c-C5H5)+ having a cyclopentadienyl ligand.
期刊介绍:
The journal invites papers that advance the field of mass spectrometry by exploring fundamental aspects of ion processes using both the experimental and theoretical approaches, developing new instrumentation and experimental strategies for chemical analysis using mass spectrometry, developing new computational strategies for data interpretation and integration, reporting new applications of mass spectrometry and hyphenated techniques in biology, chemistry, geology, and physics.
Papers, in which standard mass spectrometry techniques are used for analysis will not be considered.
IJMS publishes full-length articles, short communications, reviews, and feature articles including young scientist features.
