The kinetics of gas-phase electron transfer reactions for | |
a variety of metal-containing reactants have been studied | |
by using Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass | |
spectrometry. Classes of ion/molecule processes studied | |
include both self-exchange (thermoneutral) and exoergic | |
cross reactions. The molecules investigated include | |
metallocenes and octahedral coordination complexes of the | |
transition elements. In a few cases, direct comparisons | |
of condensed-phase and gas-phase reactivities can be | |
made. The experiments with octahedral coordination | |
complexes are the first studies of Werner-type metal | |
complexes in electron-transfer reactions in the gas | |
phase. Simple theoretical mechanical approaches are used | |
to rationalize the dependence of the overall rates of | |
these reactions on the molecular properties of the | |
reactants. In particular, the role of Franck-Condon | |
factors in charge-transfer reactions is examined, and | |
theoretically estimated factors are compared to | |
experiment for a typical metallocene, ferrocene. | |
