Effects of vacuum on tetrakis-isocyanide complexes of silver(I) and copper(I): Implications for sims analyses.
Vacuum-promoted ligand loss has been detected for the complexes [Ag(CNMe)(4)]PF(6) (Me = methyl), [Ag(CN-t-Bu)(4)]ClO(4) (t-Bu = tert-butyl) and [Ag(CNCy)(4)]ClO(4) (Cy = cyclohexyl). The analogous Cu(I) isocyanide complexes are stable under the same conditions. These conclusions are based on infrared spectroscopy, secondary-ion mass-spectrometry (SIMS) and weight-loss measurements.
