Characterization of Isobutylaluminoxanes by Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry
2013
Mass spectrometric analysis of aluminoxanes is difficult due to their high reactivity, thermal instability, involatility, and propensity to form complex mixtures of oligomers. However, the controlled hydrolysis of fluoroben- zene solutions of triisobutylaluminum provides surprisingly simple electrospray ionization mass spectra (ESI-MS), consisting of just two main charged species. The most abundant of these can be characterized as (Al3O3 i Bu4(Al i Bu2H)2(Al i Bu3)) − , using a combination of m/z value, isotope pattern, MS/MS studies, and isotopic labeling.
