✦ Synopsis

Fast-atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectrometry in the negative ionization mode enables the sputtering into the gas phase of the ruthenium complexes Ru(2,2'-bipyridine[bpy])2(2,5-bis) (pyrydil)pyrazine[dpp])2; Ru(bpy)2,(2,3dpp)2;Ru(bpy)2,(2,3-dpp-Me)3; and [Ru(bpy)2(ώ-2,3-dpp)]2 RuCl2(PF6)4 as intact radical anions. These data, combined with those avaiiable from the positive FAB spectra allow a full characterization of the analytes.
