Abstract
The value of mass spectrometry as a means of qualitative analysis of unknown compounds or for confirmation of the identity of suspected compounds is well recognized. Mass spectra provide information concerning the structural arrangement of atoms within a molecule on the basis of the mode of fragmentation of the molecular ion which is usually produced by electron impact. Fragmentation patterns resulting from bond fission and rearrangement of atoms are highly diagnostic and characteristic of the original molecular structure. Mass spectral interpretations are usually made on the basis of empirical correlations or detailed ion decomposition mechanisms. Theories and principles governing the interpretation of mass spectra have been discussed in excellent texts (Beynon 1960, McLafferty 1963, Biemann 1962) and comprehensive reviews (Cooks 1969).
