โฆ Synopsis
Metallocarbohedrenes (Met-Cars) of titanium and zirconium have been produced by the direct laser vaporization of their respective pure carbides. Time-of-flight mass spectra of both ionic and neutral metallocarbohedrenes formed in the laser-induced plasma are presented and compared to spectra of the same systems generated under laser vaporization/molecular beam conditions. Potential mechanisms of formation of these clusters are presented and discussed.
