Abstract
Charged species structurally related to several isomers of Cl(2)O(2), of considerable importance in atmospheric chemistry, were obtained by chemical ionization (CI) and characterized by collisionally activated dissociation (CAD) mass spectrometry. The ClOClO(+) and [Cl(2)-O(2)](+) species were prepared by positive ion Cl(2)/CI of ClO(2) and O(2), respectively, whereas the ClClO(2)(+) isomer proved an elusive species of considerably lower stability. The ClClO(2)(-) anion was obtained from the negative ion Cl(2)/CI of ClO(2). The formation process, structure and stability of the ions are discussed in connection with available theoretical results and related to the recent preparation of (Cl(2)O(2))(+)SbF(6)(-) and (Cl(2)O(2))(+)Sb(2)F(11)(-) salts in the solid phase.
