Transition metal-chlorine anions and cations: monomers, clusters, and periodic trends
Laser ablation and time-of-flight mass spectrometry have been used to generate and characterize aluminum-chlorine and transition metal-chlorine ionic species. Many new complexes have been observed. The structures of the monometalchlorine species are discussed.
