The oxidized species,Fc+CH2NMe2 and FcCH2CH2Fc+,were detected in the DIOS mass spectra.The results suggested that electron transfer from the analytes to the sample target occurs during the ionization process.}, pages = {1449--1451}, title = {Oxidation of Ferrocene Derivatives in Desorption/Ionization on Porous Silicon}, volume = {21}, year = {2005} }
