A general summary of the formation of negative ions is given. The negative-ion mass spectra of 2-aryl-1,3-oxathians contain pronounced molecular anions together with fragment ions produced by both simple and complex cleavage processes. Evidence is presented which suggests that the decomposing molecular anions have low internal energies. The spectra of nitroaryloxathians contain further examples of specific hydrogen scrambling in negative ions, and that of the o-nitro derivative exhibits a characteristic proximity effect. In contrast, the isomeric nitrophenyl-1,3-dioxans give similar spectra and show neither hydrogen scrambling nor proximity effects.

Rearrangement Processes

Results of electron-attachment reactions in the gas phase as well as negative-ion mass spectra are given for a series of bis(1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoropentane-2,4-dionato)metal(1) complexes, (ML2), with the divalent metals MgII, MnII, Co11, Nil1, Cu11 and ZnII. While molecular, [ML2]- or [ML2]-, and ligand, [L]-, ions are present in the negative-ion mass spectra, the lability of the ligand C-F and C-CF3 bonds enables rearrangement processes involving fluorine atom transfers to become significant in the decompositions of both molecular and fragment ions, particularly for the class (a) metals, for which significant yields of [MLF2] and [MLF] negative ions were obtained. Thus, the predominant fragmentation pathway for such metal-containing complexes, for which metastable peaks have been assigned, occurs in the sequence [ML2]- -(*) → (MLF2]- - (8) → [L]- or alternatively [ML2]- -(*) → (MLF2]- - (8) → [L]- with the latter fragmentation in these sequences involving the elimination of the divalent metal fluoride, MF2.

Negative ion formation by electron impact has been studied in nitromethane, nitroethane, nitrobenzene, tetranitromethane, ethylnitrite and ethylnitrate. Appearance potentials, ionization efficiency curves and kinetic energies of negative ions were measured by using a Fox ion source. The electron affinities of C2H5O and of C (NO2)3 are discussed as well as the energetics of processes which yield NO2-. The electron capture in nitrobenzene and tetranitromethane leads to molecular ions [C6H5NO2~ in high, C (NO2)4 in very low intensity] besides many fragment ions. A number of product ions from negative ion-molecule reactions has also been found.

Abstract A study of the negative ion mass spectra of a number of complex organic molecules (pesticides) was undertaken to determine what information this technique would yield for structural analysis. The simplicity of the negative ion mass spectra was a characteristic feature and the most abundant negative ions in the spectra were assumed to be similar to the stable carbanions postulated in classical organic chemistry. The simplicity of the mass spectra suggested a possible application of the technique to the identification of carbamate pesticides.

The analytical value of peaks arising by a proximity effect in the electron ionization mass spectra of benzanilides has been established by examining the spectra of numerous examples of general structure XC6H4NHCOC6H4Y. Significant [M-X]+ signals are observed only when X = Cl, Br, I or CH3O in the 2-position. The presence of strong [M-X]+ signals, but negligibly weak [M-Y]+ peaks, even when the C-Y bond would be expected to break more readily than the C-X bond, indicates that these diagnostically useful signals do not arise by simple cleavage. Similarly, the presence of an appreciable [M-Cl]+ signal, but no [M-Br]+ signal, in the spectra of representative examples of 4-Br-2ClC6H3NHCOC6H4Y, reveals that loss of a substituent from the 2-position occurs much more rapidly than fission of a weaker bond to a substituent in the 4-position. These trends are interpreted in terms of cyclization of the ionized 2-substituted benzanilide, followed by elimination of the substituent originally in the 2-position, to form a protonated 2-arylbenzoxazole.
