Abstract

Gas-phase ion-ion reactions between tris-1,10-phenantholine metal dications, [(phen)₃M]²⁺ (where M = Ni and Mg), and the tetraphenylborate anion yield the ion-pairs {[(phen)₃M]²⁺[BPh₄]⁻}⁺. The ion-pairs undergo transmetalation upon loss of a phen ligand to give the organometallic complexes [(phen)₂M(Ph)]⁺. DFT calculations, used to determine the energy barriers for the transmetalation reactions and the hydrolysis reactions, are entirely consistent with the experimental results.
