Collision-Induced Reductive Elimination of 1,3-Diynes from [MAu24(C≡CR)18]2− (M = Pd, Pt) Yielding Clusters of Superatoms

We studied collision-induced dissociation (CID) processes of alkynyl-protected alloy clusters [MAu24(C≡CR)18]2– (M = Pd, Pt; R = 3,5-(CF3)2C6H3) having an icosahedral M@Au12(8e) superatomic core us...
