Gas phase ligand substitution reactions in fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry: effects of ligand base strength and choice of matrix liquid in substitution reactions of difluoroborn cations

Abstract
Strongly basic amidine and guanidine ligands displace weaker-base ligands such as pyridine from D2BF2+ complexes in the gas phase in Fast Atom Bombardment mass spectrometry. The choice of protic vs. aprotic matrix liquid inhibits or promotes gas phase ligand substitution reactions. Keywords: ligand substitution, difluoroboron cations, FABMS.
