ICP-SIFT/MS study of gas-phase reactions of lanthanide cations with benzene: Room-temperature kinetics and periodicities in reactivity

- Survey of kinetics at 295 K of atomic lanthanide cation reactions with benzene.
- Sequential addition of three benzene molecules to Ln+ cations at 0.35 Torr He.
- Onset energy (OE) measurements for CID of Ln(C6H6)1-3+ complexes.
- Correlation of reaction efficiency and OE with electronic promotion energy of Ln+.
- Comparison of ICP-SIFT results with low pressure FT/ICR measurements.
