Gas-phase silver chalcogenide ions investigated by laser-ablation Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry
Abstract
When laser-ablated and monitored by FTICR mass spectrometry, silver sulphide, selenide and telluride, and elemental mixtures of silver with selenium or tellurium, yield large silver chalcogenide cluster anions, including the series [Ag2n– 1En]–(E = S, Se, Te) with n⩽ 14.
