The first experimentally determined bond dissociation energies for losing water from Fe2+(H2O)(n) complexes, n = 4-11, are measured using threshold collision-induced dissociation (TCID) in a guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometer coupled to an electrospray ionization source that forms thermalized complexes. In this technique, absolute cross-sections for dissociation induced by collisions with Xe at systematically varied kinetic energies are obtained. After accounting for multiple collisions, kinetic shifts, and energy distributions, these cross-sections are analyzed to yield the energy thresholds for losing one, two, or three water ligands at 0 K. The 0 K threshold measurements are converted to 298 K values to give the hydration enthalpies and free energies for sequentially losing water ligands from each complex. Comparisons to previous results for hydration of Zn2+ indicate that the bond energies are dominated by electrostatic interactions, with no obvious variations associated with the open shell of Fe2+. Theoretical geometry optimizations and single-point energy calculations are performed using several levels of theory for comparison to experiment, with generally good agreement. In addition to water loss channels, the charge separation process generating hydrated FeOH+ and protons is observed for multiple reactant complexes. Energies of the rate-limiting transition states are calculated at several levels of theory with density functional approaches (B3LYP and B3P86) disagreeing with MP2(full) results. Comparisons to our kinetic energy dependent cross-sections suggest that the energetics of the MP2(full) level are most accurate.
