Type of Publication: Journal article

Year of publication: 2016
Published in: International Journal of Mass Spectrometry ; 408 (2016). - pp. 56-61. - ISSN 1387-3806. - eISSN 1873-2798

Summary:
A combined study using mass spectrometry and density functional theory (DFT) was conducted to investigate aluminum hydride cluster cations, AlnHm+ (1 ≤ n ≤ 5, 0 ≤ m ≤ 12). The mass spectra revealed about 20 previously-unknown aluminum hydride cluster cations. Among these species, several showed high mass spectral intensities, suggesting that they had unusual stabilities. Density functional theory calculations were conducted to investigate the geometric structures of these clusters. Many of these clusters can be viewed as being composed of smaller, stable units, such as Al+, AlH3, Al2+/0, H+ and H2.
