Gas-Phase Reactions of Silver Cluster Ions Produced by Fast Atom Bombardment
Abstract
Silver cluster ions, Agx+ (x = 1-16), have been produced by fast atom bombardment of silver foil and silver salts in the external ion source of a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer. Ion formation and collision-induced dissociation are discussed in relation to ion stabilities. Reactions of Agx+, x = 1-5, were studied with a variety of small molecules. Reactivity is dominated by adduct formation and silver atom displacement, which is dependent on cluster size. Contrasting reactivity was observed between Ag+ and A92-+ with 2-propanol, 2methyl-2-propanol and 2-methylpropane. Silver cluster ions, Mass spectrometry.
