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.

<div> <div> <div> <p>A key step in gas-phase polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) formation involves the addition of acetylene (or other alkyne) to σ-type aromatic radicals, with successive additions yielding more complex PAHs. A similar process can happen for N- containing aromatics. In cold diffuse environments, such as the interstellar medium, rates of radical addition may be enhanced when the σ-type radical is charged. This paper investigates the gas-phase ion-molecule reactions of acetylene with nine aromatic distonic σ-type radical cations derived from pyridinium (Pyr), anilinium (Anl) and benzonitrilium (Bzn) ions. Three isomers are studied in each case (radical sites at the ortho, meta and para positions). Using a room temperature ion trap, second-order rate coefficients, product branching ratios and reaction efficiencies are reported. </p> </div> </div> </div>
