Abstract

A route to efficient generation of C₆H₄^+., potentially the benzyne radical cation, is presented. Laser vaporization of Mg^+. and supersonic expansion in helium doped with o-, m-, or p-C₆H₄F₂ yields, among other ions, o-, m-, p-C₆H₄F₂Mg^+. complexes, but no C₆H₄^+.. Collision-induced dissociation experiments show that the o-C₆H₄F₂Mg ^+. complex can be converted into C₆H₄ ^+. in a mildly energetic collision, with a center-of-mass energy around 1-2 eV. These conditions can also be reached in the ion source when argon is used as a carrier gas. In this way, mass spectra containing the desired m/z 76 peak, i.e. C₆H₄^+., are obtained.
