Product ion mass spectra resulting from EC by [M(NH3)6(H2O)55]3+, M = Ru, Co, Os, Cr, and Ir, to form [M(NH3)6(H2O)n−y]2+ + yH2O. Spectra are aligned by the number of water molecules lost from the reduced precursor ions. Insets are theoretical isotope distributions calculated for the most abundant product ion. Fragment ions corresponding to the loss of one or two ammonia molecules in addition to water molecule loss overlap in m/z with the isotopic contribution from the all water loss dissociation channel.
