Hydrogen Scrambling

A device is described which allows the measurement of ?doubly charged ion? mass spectra on the m/e 300 mass range of an Hitachi Perkin-Elmer RMU7 mass spectrometer. The unit gives a sensitivity enhancement 110 times that described in previous papers, and has been used to study hydrogen-scrambling and metastable processes which occur in the ?doubly charged ion? spectra of a range of simple benzenoid derivatives.

Doubly Charged

Metastable transitions have been observed in the mass spectra of benzene, hexadeutero-benzene, 1,4-dideuterobenzene and 1,3,5-trideuterobenzene using a double-focusing mass spectrometer. Decomposition maps have been obtained for each substance and decomposition reactions leading to the production of all significant fragment ions have been suggested. Metastable transitions of several doubly-charged species were found. Loss if identity by the H and D atoms of the partly-deuterated benzenes was observed in metastable transitions in their mass spectra, indicating that rapid isomerization occurs before fragmentation.

Double Focusing

A study of the abundances of certain metastable peaks formed by the de- composition of ions in the first and second field-free regions of a double-focusing mass spectrometer has shown that the M-1 ions (m/e 165) in the mass spectra of fluorene and phenalene have different structures. Correlations based on these structures have been obtained for C13H9+ species formed from different systems.

Metastable Ions

The mass spectra of representative series of simple alkyl acetoacetates, alkyl acetothioacetates, and some unsaturated esters derived from unsaturated alcohols or phenols are reported and discussed. The fragmentation schemes have been established by high resolution measurements, appropriate metastable ions, and by deuterium and 18O labelling. Many of the spectra show significant skeletal rearrangement fragments arising from either loss of carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide.
