Watch your step! The individual steps during the chlorination of [Al 13 ] − clusters via [Al 11 ] − , [Al 9 ] − , and [Al 7 ] − intermediates (see picture) can be “visualized” by means of Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT‐ICR) mass spectrometry. The reaction can be interpreted as a model reaction for the chlorination of bulk aluminum.
