Abstract
The mass spectra of spiropentane, cyclopentene, 1,3‐pentadiene (piperylene), isoprene and some deuterium labelled analogues have been studied. The heats of formation of the molecular ions and the major daughter ions [C5H7]+ and [C4H5]+ have been estimated. Fragmentation of these molecules mostly proceeds via common intermediates in which hydrogen atoms have lost their positional identity. Only spiropentane displays any specific fragmentation behaviour related to its ground state geometry.Keywords
