Av. Grafov et al., MASS-SPECTROMETRIC STUDY OF SOME ZIRCONOCENE AND HAFNOCENE DIALCOHOLATES CONTAINING A NORBORNANE MOIETY, Rapid communications in mass spectrometry, 10(14), 1996, pp. 1758-1760
The electron ionization mass spectrometric behaviour of a new series o
f hafnocene and zirconocene dialcoholates is discussed, Deprotonized n
orborneol and 3-methyl-2-norbornanemethanol were used as lateral ligan
ds. These data are also compared to those of mass-analysed ion kinetic
energy spectrometry. Fragmentation patterns of the complexes in quest
ion give relevant information on their gas-phase behaviour and on an i
nfluence of the ligand's structure on decomposition pathways as well.
