title: Complete ligand loss in electron ionization of the weakly bound organometallic tungsten hexacarbonyl dimer.
abstract: We observed the bare W2(+) metal cation upon electron ionization of the weakly bound W(CO)6 dimer. This metal cation can be only observed due to the fast conversion of the weak cluster bond into a strong covalent bond between the metal moieties.
