Formation of Organoxenon Dications in the Reactions of Xenon with Dications Derived from Toluene

Abstract

The bimolecular reactivity of xenon with C7Hn 2+ dications (n=6-8), generated by double ionization of toluene using both electrons and synchrotron radiation, is studied by means of a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer and reveals the formation of a new organoxenon compound.
