Possible structures for some rearrangement ions in the negative ion mass spectra of 3- and 4-nitro- phthalic anhydride are suggested from an examination of the + E spectra obtained by the conversion of the negative ions to positive ions by charge-stripping reactions. The reactivities of the non-decomposing negative ions have been investigated by observation of their ion-molecule reactions with the neutral anhydride in the cell of an ion cyclotron resonance spectrometer.

.The [M·–l CN·I- species from ethenetetracarbonitrile (tetracyanoethylene) reacts with neutral ethene- tetracarbonitrile to give the stable adduct C11N7-. The decomposing form of this adduct eliminates C2N2 to produce C,9N5- which may react with ethenetetracarbonitrile to yield C15N,9-. Analogous anionic polymerization reactions yield a number of detectable peaks in the i.c.r. spectrum of tetra- cyanoethylene, with the structures of the ions possibly corresponding to a. Diagram Polymerization of this type can also be initiated by other nucleophiles including Cl-, Br-, I- and CF3CO2-.

Ion cyclotron resonance allows the sensitive measurement of doubly charged anions at low cell pressures. Evidence is presented which suggests the formation of X-- (X = halogen) ions from alkyl halides.

The negative ion mass spectra derived from the three dinitrobenzenes show NO2-, [M-?-NO?]- and M-? as major ions. The i.c.r. spectrum of o- dinitrobenzene shows the formation of the adducts [M+NO2-]-, [M+(M-?-NO?)- ]- and 2M-?, but the m- and p-dinitrobenzenes only produce the adduct [M+NO2-]-. The nucleophile Cl- adds to each of the three dinitrobenzene neutrals in the abundance ratio o >> m ≈ p. Evidence is presented which suggests that the neutral products formed by the reaction between NO2- and o-dinitrobenzene are dinitro- and trinitro-benzenes, whereas those resulting from the interaction of Cl- with o-dinitrobenzene are chloronitrobenzene and a chloro-dinitrobenzene.

Positive ion mass spectra obtained by conventional electron impact and by methane chemical ionization were compared with the negative ion mass spectra of 16 typical organophosphorus pesticides using methane, a methane-oxygen mixture, and oxygen as enhancement/reagent gases. In the negative ion spectra, phosphate and phenate anions typically carry a large fraction of the ion current. Displacement of chlorine by oxygen is noted in some cases, and migration of aryl groups from oxygen to sulfur is occasionally noted. Ion-molecule reactions between two species derived from sample molecules have been observed. The sensitivity of the negative ion techniques for the pesticides examined is greater than conventional electron impact or methane positive chemical ionization techniques, and can be up to 800 times more sensitive for some compounds.
