Abstract
A new FT-ICR apparatus (Fourier Transform - Ion Cyclotron Resonance) has been developed, where clusters produced in a laser vaporization supersonic cluster source were efficiently injected and trapped in an elongated cylindrical Penning type ion trap located in the center of a magnetic field of 6 Tesla. The successful injection of multiple cluster pulses into the ion trap makes the experiment largely independent of the intensity of the supersonic cluster source. Long trapping times of up to 30 minutes and a high mass resolution are additional features of this apparatus.
In a first application, the apparatus was used to systematically investigate the chemisorption behavior of positively-charged group V and group IX transition metal cluster ions towards H
