Silica clusters were produced by laser vaporizatian of three difierent silica compounds and the ionized species were analysed by using Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. Using a wavelength of 248 nm, negativeion mass spectra of E2, Merck and Stober's silica showed different

โฆ Synopsis
Ions produced by the 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser ablation of various Si-C samples include mixed silicon carbon (Si,C,,) cluster ions of low molecular mass. Unique Si,C, cluster ion distributions are observed. A charge state effect for Si,C, clusters is evident from differences between the respectively charged distributions. This may be accounted for by either differing energetics and/or differing formation mechanisms for positive and negative Si,C, cluster ions. Several specific Si,C, clusters of probable high stability consistently dominate the mass spectra. The chemistry of the more abundant Si$, ions was probed by collision-induced dissociation and ion-molecule reactivity experiments. Similar Si,C;* dissociation results in the common loss of an Si ion. Parent Si,C, ion and small neutral reagent reactants give rise to oxidation, addition and exchange reactions. ' (2 d rn < 13) and Sin-(1 d n < 4) clusters are observed.

Anionic and cationic silicon clusters react exothermically with WF6 to give a variety of tungsten and silicon fluorides. All the silicon anionic clusters transfer their charge to WF6. The electron affinities of S&, are estimated to be less than the electron affinity of WF6 (350 kJ/mole (3.6 eV)).
