A range of mononuclear organomagnesates [RMgX2]− were generated in the gas phase by decarboxylation of the magnesium carboxylate precursors [RCO2MgX2]− (R = Me, Et, Pr, iPr, tBu, vinyl, allyl, HC≡C, Ph, PhCH2, PhCH2CH2; X = Cl, Br, I). The gas-phase formation and unimolecular reactivity of these organomagnesates were examined using a combination of experiments carried out in linear ion trap and triple-quadrupole mass spectrometers and DFT calculations. Halide loss was found to directly compete with decarboxylation in the formation of mononuclear [RMgX2]−. However, sterically unhindered, stable R– substituents and strong Mg–Cl bonds can be employed to facilitate the decarboxylation reaction at the expense of the halide loss channel. Thus, in the case of R = HC≡C, PhCH2, decarboxylation is the main fragmentation pathway. The resultant mononuclear organomagnesates [RMgX2]− were mass-selected, and their unimolecular chemistry was examined. Four competing fragmentations were observed: bond homolysis, bond hete...
