Laser-desorption mass spectrometry of [Ru6C(CO)17] and its derivatives: cluster aggregation in the gas phase

Abstract
The ultraviolet-laser-desorption mass spectra of [Ru6C(CO)17], [Ru6C(CO)146-C6H5Me)] and [Ru6C(CO)126-C6H4Me 2)(µ-C6H7Me)] have been obtained. Positive-ion mass spectra showed abundant singly-charged species: peaks corresponding to the successive loss of carbonyl ligands from an otherwise intact parent cluster and high molecular-weight clusters formed from the aggregation of intact hexaruthenium cores.
