Gas phase studies of Zn+2, Ag+3, and Ag+5

Article abstract of DOI:10.1063/1.453867

Laser desorption from ZnO and AgO produces small bare metal cluster ions.Laser desorption from a ZnO/AgO mixture produces an enhancement of the silver cluster ion signal with complete suppression of the zinc signal.The chemistry of Zn2+ indicates IP(Zn2) = 9.0 +/- 0.2 eV and D⁰(Zn+ - Zn) = 0.56 +/- 0.2 eV.The reactivity of Zn2+ with alkenes and alcohols is characterized by displacement of a zinc atom and formation of Zn+ - B (B = alcohol, alkene).The silver cluster ions are produced with excess kinetic energy; however, collisional cooling is achieved by trapping the cluster ions in a static pressure of argon.Charge transfer reactions indicate IP ( Ag_n ) < 7.0 eV ( n = 3,5 ) .Ag3+ and Ags+ are unreactive with small alkanes, alkenes, and alcohols, but Ag_nL₂+ (n = 3,5; L = sec-butylamine) reacts with sec-butylamine via deamination and dehydrogenation indicating D⁰g (Ag_nL₂+ - butadiene) > 1.73 eV.
