Abstract
AbstractBy collisions with argon atoms in the gas phase (SORI‐CAD experiments by means of FT‐ICR mass spectrometry) the metalloid cluster ion [Ga19(C(SiMe3)3)6]— fragments in a very precise way detaching step by step neutral Ga(C(SiMe3)3) units and finally leading to the stable 40‐electron bare metal cluster [Ga13]—. In combination with quantum chemical calculations the exploration of the fragmentation process leads to an experimentally based understanding of the bond properties of many of the recently investigated metalloid gallium and aluminum clusters.
