Abstract
In this paper, the mass spectrometric behaviour of cyclophosphazenes substituted with primary and secondary amines is investigated, together with the mass spectrometric polymerization pattern of these compounds. While it is not possible to achieve the mass spectrometric polymerization of hexa(anilino)cyclotriphosphazene, ion–molecule reactions take place in the case of hexa(piperidino)‐ and hexa(morpholino)cyclotriphosphazenes, which lead to the formation of hexameric species. Evidence is given that pentasubstituted cyclophosphazenephosphorus cations are the species responsible for the oligomerization process.
