Abstract
In the cell of a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectromete r, the reactions of C3H6O+. (m/z 58) isomer ions CH3OCHCH2+. (1) and (CH2CH 2OCH2+)-C-. (2) with selected neutral molecules serve to distinguish clearl y between these structures. It is shown that, contrary to earlier assumptio ns, the m/z 58 ions formed by fragmentation of 1,4-dioxane(+.) do not corre spond to a single structure. The main component corresponds to structure 2, but structure 1 is also present to the extent of about 7%, The mechanism o f fragmentation is discussed.
