Abstract

Abstract The reactivity of neutral alkoxy radicals in the absence of any interfering intermolecular interactions is investigated by means of the recently introduced method of neutral and ion decomposition difference (NIDD) spectra. These are obtained from quantitative analysis of the corresponding neutralization–reionization (NR) and charge reversal (CR) mass spectra. The following trends emerge: alkoxy radicals with short (C 1 [ ...
