Our continuing investigation of gas phase ion-molecule chemistry involving metal ions has led us to to examine the nature and behavior of organometallic ion radicals of a sort that would represent a new class of distonic ions. As a starting point, we generated a radical cation, {sup +}FeC{sub 6}H{sub 4}{sup *}. All the experiments were performed on an Extrel FTMS-2000 dual cell Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer equipped with 3T superconducting magnet. Fe{sup +} was generated by laser desorption-ionization of the pure metal target using a Nd:YAG laser. The results reported here represent the first evidence of an organometallic distonic ion in the gas phase. 18 refs., 1 fig.
