Chem Commun (Camb). 2010 Nov 28;46(44):8472-4. doi: 10.1039/c0cc02673e. Epub 2010 Oct 6.

Abstract

The relative Lewis basicity of a series of phosphoryl compounds toward cations M(n+)(OTf)(n-1) derived from triflate salts, M(OTf)(n), is ranked using electrospray mass spectrometry according to competitive adduct formation.
