Electrospray ionization of dilute aqueous solutions of copper(II) chloride-containing traces of pyridine (py) as well as ammonia permits the generation of the gaseous ions (py)(2) Cu(+) and (py)(2) CuCl(+) , of which the latter is a formal copper(II) compound, whereas the former contains copper(I). Collision-induced dissociation of the mass-selected ions in an ion-trap mass spectrometer (IT-MS) leads to a loss of pyridine from (py)(2) Cu(+) , whereas an expulsion of atomic chlorine largely prevails for (py)(2) CuCl(+) . Theoretical studies using density functional theory predict a bond dissociation energy (BDE) of BDE[(py)(2) Cu(+) -Cl] = 125 kJ mol(-1) , whereas the pyridine ligand is bound significantly stronger, i.e. BDE[(py)CuCl(+) -py] = 194 kJ mol(-1) and BDE[(py)Cu(+) -py] = 242 kJ mol(-1) . The results are discussed with regard to the influence of the solvation on the stability of the Cu(I) /Cu(II) redox couple.
