✦ Synopsis
Even though Fe~ clusters in the gas phase have been demonstrated to be able to induce the cylotrimerization of added C2H 2 ligands to benzene, the precursor ion Fe4(CzH2) ~ has not yet been structurally characterized. To improve our understanding of this type of ion, we compare the products obtained by the direct reaction of benzene with bare Fe~ clusters (n = 2-11) to those obtained by dehydrogenative addition of ethene. Additional mass spectrometric studies such as collision-induced dissociation (CID) and thermoneutral ligand exchange with C6D 6 suggest that the reaction of Cell 4 with Fe~ produces at least two types of structural isomers, with a preformed benzene molecule existing only in one of them (Fe4C6H~-).
