Multiple-stage collision-induced dissociation (CID) of a uranyl propiolate cation, [UO(OC-C≡CH)], can be used to prepare the U-methylidyne species [O═U≡CH] [ , , 796-805]. Here, we report that CID of [O═U≡CH] causes elimination of CO to create [UH], followed by a loss of H to generate U. A feasible, multiple-step pathway for the generation of [UH] was identified using DFT calculations. These results provide the first demonstration that multiple-stage CID can be used to prepare both U and UH directly from a UO precursor for the subsequent investigation of ion-molecule reactivity.
丙炔酸铀酰阳离子[UO(OC-C≡CH)]的多阶段碰撞诱导解离(CID)可用于制备次甲基铀物种[O═U≡CH] [ , , 796 - 805]。在此,我们报告[O═U≡CH]的CID导致CO消除生成[UH],随后失去H生成U。使用密度泛函理论(DFT)计算确定了生成[UH]的可行多步途径。这些结果首次证明多阶段CID可用于直接从UO前体制备U和UH,以便随后研究离子 - 分子反应性。
