ABSTRACTOn the basis of consideration of the properties of AI, In, Ln, Ti, Zr, Hf, NbO3+, MoO4+, WO4+, MoO22+ MO22+, Fe, Co, Ni alkoxide derivatives the main regularities in poly- and oligomerization properties have been deduced:1) The molecular complexity increases in time (aging) and on action of alcohols. This process is followed by the increase in the melting and boiling points, decrease in solubility in ROH and weakening of colour. In the mass-spectra - in connection with the temperature of transition into the gas phase - increases the stability of products with lower molecular masses. 2) oligomerization occurs on dissolution in aromatic hydrocarbons or on a short thermal treatment (melting, distillation). The oligomerization products possess lower thermal constants, higher solubility in ROH and more intense colour. Their mass- spectra are containing the fragments of higher masses corresponding to oligomers existing apparently also in the condensed phase.The mastering of these regularities permits the monitoring of molecular composition and thus physicochemical properties of the samples which are of importance for their technological application.The presence of oxoalkoxides in the “M(OR)n” samples should be taken into consideration on the preparation of solutions used in the synthesis of powders and films of pure simple and mixed oxides.

Abstract The stability and acid-base properties of MON2O mixed oxides (where M = Be, Mg, Ca; N = Li, Na, K) are studied by using ab initio methods. It is demonstrated that (i) the basicity of such designed systems evaluated by estimation of electronic proton affinity and gas-phase basicity (defined as the electronic and Gibbs free energies of deprotonation processes for [MON2O]H+) were found significant (in the ranges of 272–333 kcal/mol and 260–322 kcal/mol, respectively); (ii) in each series of MOLi2O/MONa2O/MOK2O the basicity increases with an increase of the atomic number of alkali metal involved; (ii) the Lewis-acidity of the corresponding [MON2O]H+ determined with respect to hydride anion (assessed as the electronic and Gibbs free energies of H− detachment processes for [MON2O]H2) decreases as the basicity of the corresponding oxide increases. The thermodynamic stability of all [MON2O]H2 systems is confirmed by estimating the Gibbs free energies for the fragmentation processes yielding either H2 or H2O.

Neutralization-reionization mass spectrometry (NRMS) was applied to the generation and characterization of low-valence Sn(I) derivatives. The observation of recovery signals in the NR mass spectra of RSn+ ions (R=H, Cl, Br, CH3, C2H, C6H5) demonstrated that their neutral counterparts are stable species in the gas-phase with a lifetime of at least 5 μs. According to quantum chemical calculations, a favorable Franck–Condon factor may contribute to the stability of RSn neutrals generated in the NR event. The experimental results for tin acetylide and phenyltin are the first examples of the generation of these previously unknown molecular species.

AbstractWe have investigated the stability of gas-phase formaldehyde oligomers and its implications for cometary science. Our experiments indicate that when a formaldehyde-methanol solution is vaporized in the mass spectrometer, high molecular mass POM species (45, 61, 75, 91, 105, 121, 135, 151, 165 amu) exist in the gas phase in the temperature range 473 K to 773 K. These laboratory results complement our previous experiments using a formaldehyde-water solution and indicate that formaldehyde oligomers are stable in the gas phase up to at least 6 monomeric units in length. Methanol is important in the end-capping process of the oligomers, leading to increased stability and a richer mass spectrum when compared to the formaldehyde-water solution. The results are consistent with mass spectra obtained by theGiottoPICCA instrument exhibiting alternating 14-16 amu mass peaks.

The reactivity of the dimethylchloronium ion with a series of aromatic hydrocarbons has been studied in a high pressure mass spectrometer ion source using the technique of reactant ion monitoring. Benzene is unreactive but all others, from toluene to mesitylene, react by CH3+ transfer to yield σ-bonded complexes. The relative rate of reaction increases with increasing exothermicity in line with current theories of nucleophilic displacement reactions.
