Abstract
AbstractThe negative chemical ionization mass spectra of nitrobenzene, ethylene glycol dinitrate and nitroglycerine have been obtained using various reagent ions. For nitrobenzene, [OH]− gives the [M − H]−, together with [M]−˙ ions formed by electron capture, but other reagent ions gave relatively low intensity adduct peaks. Ethylene glycol dinitrate and nitroglycerine gave abundant [M + X]− ions (X = NO2, NO3, Cl, Br, I), together with ions arising from the thermal decomposition of the samples in the heated inlet system. The rate of anion attachment to these compounds is much greater than that to related compounds having only one functional group, and it is suggested that this is due to the participation of the adjacent groups in the bonding between the substrate and anion.
