In this thesis, reductive elimination reactions and their selectivity-determining factors were investigated using ESI and tandem-MS. To this matter, square-planar coordinated coinage- metalate complexes bearing trifluoromethyl ligands were chosen as the model system. The anionic complexes were transferred into the gas phase using ESI and studied through tandem- MS. Fragmentation experiments were used to determine the unimolecular reactivity of these complexes and their fragmentation products. Quantum chemical computations were applied to understand potential energy surfaces of various react...
