Electrospray mass spectrometry of neutral metal carbonyl complexes using silver(I) ions for ionisation
Abstract
Silver(I) ions are used for chemical ionisation in the electrospray mass spectrometric analysis of neutral metal carbonyls such as [M3(CO)12](M = Ru, Os), [Re2(CO)10] or [SiFe4(CO)16] in a variety of solvents (MeOH, PriOH, THF, or MeCN–H2O).
