Gas-Phase Ion Chromatography: Transition Metal State Selection and Carbon Cluster Formation
Abstract
Gas-phase ion chromatography can separate ions that have the same mass but differ in isomeric structure or electronic configuration. The main features of this technique are briefly outlined, and applications to a series of problems in transition metal chemistry and carbon cluster chemistry are described. Examples in transition metal chemistry include state-selective reactivity, excited state deactivation, and state-selective ligand binding energies. For clusters, ion chromatography was used to determine the structure of pure carbon cluster ions as a function of size from C 4 to C 84 . The results indicate that carbon grows first in linear chains, transforms to monocyclic planar rings at about C 10 , and forms new families of planar bi-, tri-, and tetracyclic rings at C 20 , C 30 , and C 40 , respectively. Fullerenes, which mysteriously appear at C 30 and dominate by C 50 , are generated by heating the planar ring systems above an isomerization barrier rather than by growth of graphite precursors.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
