Abstract

Abstract: The appearance energies of daughter ions for the major low-energy fragmentations, namely, losses of C2H6, CHI, and CH,., of pentane and methylbutane radical cations have been measured. These reactions for ions of low internal energy content (rate constants in the range 105-107 sl) have been studied by observations of metastable peak shapes. The behaviors of a variety of 13C-and 2H-labeled compounds were also ...
