Abstract

Abstract: The monomeric metaphosphate anion, PO3-, was first proposed in 1955 as an intermediate in hydrolysis of phosphomonoesters in aqueous solution. But almost a quarter of a century elapsed before its first direct observation, in the negative-ion chemical- ionization (NICI) mass spectra of certain phosphotriesters. To help define the gas-phase reaction paths leading to the formation and subsequent decomposition of PO<, we have ...
