Rationale:
While much of the interest and application of beta-diketonate complexes has focused predominately on the condensed phases, we report on the prevalence of gas-phase ligand exchange reactions leading to the formation of novel species.
Methods:
Gas-phase ligand exchange reactions of Mg(eeac)2 and Mg(tftm)2 complexes with Cu(acac)2 , Cu(tftm)2 , Cu(dbm)2 , and Cu(eeac)2 were investigated using a direct insertion electron impact triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The collision cell of the triple quadrupole mass spectrometer was also employed to examine the gas-phase reactions between mass-selected ions and specific neutral target compounds.
Results:
The gas-phase mixed ligand products of [Mg(acac)(eeac)]+ , [Cu(acac)(eeac)]+ , [Mg(eeac)(tftm)]+ , [Cu(eeac)(tftm)]+ , [Mg(acac)(tftm)]+ , and [Mg(dbm)(tftm)]+ were formed following the co-sublimation of hetero-metal precursors and are reported herein for the first time. The corresponding fragmentation patterns of the precursor and mixed ligand species are also presented.
Conclusions:
Several gas-phase ligand exchange reactions were observed leading to the formation of both mixed and complete ligand exchange products. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

03:02Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
