Abstract

Nagative-ion fast atom bombardment mass spectra of spiroborate complexes are simple and highly diagnostic of the structures of the borate anions. In hydroxylic liquid matrices, exchange of the spiroborate ligand and solvent molecules occurs slowly on the probe tip. This interference is particularly noticeable with glycerol as solvent. The repercussions of in situ ligand exchange for studies of other anions are discussed. Positive-ion fast atom bombardment mass spectra can be used to identify readily the counter-cations in the spiroborate complexes.
