Notes:
Fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectrometry has been used to examine a series of rhodium, iridium and platinum organimetallic complexes, in which a cumulene ligand is attached to the metal in either σ-or π-bonding fashion. The most intense ion formed in the rhodium and platinum series is the metal-bis(triphenylphosphine) ion, while the [Ir(P(C6H5)3)2CO]+ ion is most intense for the iridium series. The platinum complexes show the most intense molecular ion peaks (up to 35% relative intensity), while the rhodium complexes show the least intense molecular ion peaks. The primary fragmentations of all these complexes occur at the metal-ligand bonds. The cumulenic ligand is lost as an impact unit in all cases. The FAB mass spectra of Rh(P(C6H5)3)3Cl (Wilkinson's catalyst), Ir(P(C6H5)3)2COCl (Vaska's compound), Rh(P(C6H5)3)2COCl and Pt(P(C6H5)3)2(C2H4)-synthetic precursors or related compounds to the organometallic complexes examined here-are included for comparison.
