ChemInform Abstract: Sequential Solvation of Atomic Transition‐Metal Ions. The Second Solvent Molecule Can Bind More Strongly Than the First.

Abstract

ChemInform Abstract Sequential water and ammonia solvation energies are determined for V+, Cr+, Mn+, Fe+, Co+, and Ni+ by means of collision-induced dissociation in a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. For most of the transition metals, the second solvent binding energy is significantly greater than the first (exceptions: Mn+ in the case of H2O and V+ in the case of NH3 solvation).
