Inversion of the cyclohexane ring system in the solid state has been directly observed in a 19F nmr study of solid fluorocyclohexane. The barrier to ring inversion in the orientationally disordered solid phase, ΔG≠e→a = 44.1 ± 0.9 kJ mol−1 at 263 K is found to be only slightly larger than the value previously reported for a CFCl3 solution of fluorocyclohexane. The population of the equatorial conformation is slightly favored over the axial conformation with K = Pe/Pa = 1.56 at 281 K; similar values have been obtained in CFCl3 and in the gas phase.

Gas-phase ion–molecule reactions between copper ions and ketones were investigated. Organometallic adducts were prepared using a chemical ionisation/fast-atom bombardment source. Abundant pseudo-molecular ion adducts were observed in the Cu+-chemical ionisation mass spectra and their unimolecular decompositions were studied by tandem mass spectrometry. Mass-analysed ion kinetic energy spectroscopy revealed diagnostic fragmentation patterns. Losses of alkenes, losses of alkanes and dehydrogenation and dehydration reactions were observed, as well as eliminations of CuR (R = C nH2 n + 1). The rich reaction chemistry of the cationised ketones enabled differentiation of the majority of the linear and branched ketone isomers studied. Isotope-labelled derivatives were employed to elucidate fragmentation mechanisms.

AbstractWe use time-dependent density functional theory and Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics methods to investigate the fragmentation of doubly ionized uracil in gas phase. Different initial electronic excited states of the dication are obtained by removing electrons from different inner-shell orbitals of the neutral species. We show that shape-equivalent orbitals lead to very different fragmentation patterns revealing the importance of the intramolecular chemical environment. The results are in good agreement with ionion coincidence measurements of uracil collision with 100 keV protons.

Clusters between first-group metal ions and chiralα-aminophosphonic acids have been readily generated by Pulsed Laser Ablation (PLA) and by Electrospray Ionization (ESI) and their fragmentation investigated by mass spectrometry. The complexes studied have the general formula[Me(I)Cl2]+, where Me(I) is H, Li, Na, or K, C is (R)-(—)-(1-aminoethyl) phosphonic acid(ER)and (S)-(+)-(1-aminoethyl) phosphonic acid(ES),(1R)-(+)-(1-amino-2-methylpropyl) phosphonic acid(PR)and (1S)-(—)-(1-amino-2-methylpropyl) phosphonic acid(PS),(1R)-(-)-(1-amino-hexyl) phosphonic acid (HR) and (1S)-(+)-(1-amino-hexyl) phosphonic acid (HS), o-phospho-L-serine (SS)ando-phospho-D-serine(SR), and L is a referenceα-aminophosphonic acid (E, P, H or S) of defined configuration. Collision induced dissociation (CID) of diastereomeric[Me(I)Cl2]+complexes leads to fragmentation patterns characterized by[Me(I)Cl]+/[Me(I)L2]+abundance ratios which depend upon the configuration of solute C. These different spectral features were correlated to the different stability of the diastereomeric[Me(I)CRL]+and[Me(I)CSL]+complexes in the gas phase.
