Hydration Energies of Calcium Hydroxide Cation, CaOH⁺(H₂O)_x (x = 1–6), Studied Using Guided Ion Beam Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Research by Fan Yang and Peter B. Armentrout

Department of Chemistry

Hydrated metal and metal hydroxide ions are involved in critical reactions for delivering these metals to active biological sites. In recent work, Yang and Armentrout used guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometry to study the thermochemistry of calcium hydroxide cations, providing insight into the structures of these complexes.
