Notes:
In the laser ablation-molecular beam (LAMB) method, laser ablation of metal substrates in vacuum is utilized for the formation of novel organometallic and metal complex compounds containing monopositive metal ions. Mixed-metal binuclear carbonyl ions [MCr(CO)n]+, n=0-6, are prepared in the gas phase by the reaction of laser-ablated metal ions (M+) and Cr(CO)6 in the molecular beam injected nearby. The relative abundance of these ions, for M=transition metals, can essentially be explained by the M+-Cr bond dissociation energies. Results of density functional calculation show that this is essentially valid. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
