Abstract
UV/visible multiphoton dissociation/ionization of a variety of transition-metal carbonyl complexes yields highly unsaturated metal-containing molecular ions in addition to atomic metal ions. Results demonstrate that photodissociation of stable metal carbonyl compounds provides a versatile, target-specific method of producing gas-phase samples of bare homonuclear and heteronuclear metal dimers and trimers, metal sulfides, and monoligated metal atoms.
