Laser microprobe mass spectrometry (LMMS) of intracrystalline crown ether and cryptand complexes in layer silicates

Abstract

Laser microprobe mass spectrometry (LMMS) allows the characterisation of organic inclusions in mineral materials. The complexes are detected as cationized or protonated molecules, arising from the intact desorption or from recombination within the laser generated microplasma. The results obtained sustain the interpretation from other techniques concerning the nature of the cation-ligand association and the proton exchange of the cryptand for acidic Cu2+-ions.
