Abstract

Multiphoton dissociation-ionization (MPD/MPI) of volatile chromium hexacarbonyl at 266 and 353 nm generates a more nearly homogeneous or ground-state population of gas-phase metal ions than does electron ionization (EI). This was demonstrated for Cr+ by using Fourier transform mass spectrometry to measure the kinetics for the reaction of Cr+ generated by either MPD/MPI or EI with neutral Cr(CO)6. The kinetics for decay of El-produced Cr+ ions are composite whereas the rate of disappearance of MPI-produced ions is noncomposite.
