Electrospray tandem mass spectrometry of oxo complexes of chromium, manganese and tuthenium
Abstract
Several oxometal species including MnO4–, Cr2O72–, CrO3Cl–, RuO4–, RuO2Cl3– and [Ru(TMC)O2]2+(TMC = 1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) have been studied by electrospray tandem mass spectrometry; in each case the mass spectrum obtained from solution in acetonitrile shows the molecular ion as the base peak with a minimal degree of fragmentation.
