The mass spectra of 16 triorganotin compounds having the general formula R3
SnL where R=CH3, C4H9, C6H5, C6H11 and L=trans-3-(2-furanyl)-2-propenoate,
trans-m-methyl cinnamate, 2-(2,3-dimethylphenyl)aminobenzoate and trans-3-(
2-thienyl)-2-propenoate, were investigated. The possible fragmentation patt
ern is discussed in detail.
