Abstract

Abstract Fragmentation of molecular ions of methanethiol, ethanethiol, two kinds of propanethiols, and four kinds of butanethiols formed by charge exchange with positive ions has been studied using a tandem mass spectrometer. The results are compared with those of the corresponding alcohols obtained by Lindholm and coworkers, and similarities and differences between both series of ions are pointed out. The effect of the structure of the molecule on fragmentation is discussed. The fragment ions derived from primary scission are predicted on the basis of the EHMO calculation.
