A. Weisz et al., FRAGMENTATION OF ISOMERIC N-QUINOLINYLPHTHALIMIDES ON ELECTRON-IMPACTIONIZATION, Journal of mass spectrometry., 31(6), 1996, pp. 676-680
The isomeric 2, 3-, 5-, 6- and 8-quinolinylphthalimides give rise to d
ifferent electron impact ionization mass spectra, which permit easy di
stinction, The specific fragmentation processes are rationalized in te
rms of proximity effects and stabilization of cyclic ion structures, C
ollision-induced dissociation spectra were used to support the propose
d ion structures of major fragment ions.
