Examining the Gas-Phase Fragmentation of Select Metal ß-diketonate Complexes Using Computational Methods

Kemats, Kyle

Abstract Details

2014, Master of Science in Chemistry, Youngstown State University, Department of Chemistry.
The fragmentation and stability of various copper, nickel, and zinc ß-diketonate compounds were observed using mass spectrometry and were modeled using Spartan '04. Rate constants of dissociation of terminal groups and ligands, as well as transition state energies were calculated in an effort to explain the patterns of fragmentation and stability that were experimentally observed.
