High Resolution FT-ICR of CB11(CF3)12-p
EMSL Project ID
1764
Abstract
We are presently characterizing a new anion, CB11(CF3)12-, which may be useful for the stabilization of highly electrophilic cations. We are unable to obtain comustion analysis because crystalline salts of this anion tend to explode when heated rapidly (however, in solution these salts are entirely stable and do not decompose or explode). We would like to have the high resolution mass spectrum measured, but this might be difficult because the isotopically pure peaks are extremely small, for example (10B)11(12C)13(19F)36, m/z 950.08482 composes only 2 x 10^-8 of total intensity.
