Abstract

The reactivities of tantalum oxide cluster cations with unsaturated hydrocarbons have been probed using a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer coupled with a laser vaporization source. The reaction pathways observed for the tantalum oxide clusters with 1,3-butadiene (C₄H₆), 1-butene (C₄H₈), and (D6)benzene (C₆D₆) include association, atomic and molecular oxygen loss, cracking, minor dehydration, and possible dehydrogenation with the reactivities of different clusters varying from species to species. In the case of 1,3-butadiene, the major reaction product involves cracking of the C2-C3 bond to give Ta_xO_y^- (C₂H₄) reaction channels. The major reaction of tantalum oxide clusters with 1-butene is again cracking of the C2-C3 bond to give Ta_xO_y⁺(C₂H₄) reaction products. Lastly, cracking of the stable benzene ring to give Ta_xO_y^-(C₄D₄) is the major reaction pathway for tantalum oxide clusters interacting with (D6) benzene. (Int J Mass Spectrom 184 (1999) 119-128)
