The mass spectra of the hexafluoroacetylacetonates (hfacac) and trifluoroacetylacetonates (tfacac) of Al(III), Cr(III), Fe(III), Fe(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) are reported. The main features of the spectra are discussed. Compared with the spectra of the acetylacetonates (acac), substitution of CF3 for CH3 in these complexes leads to more extensive fragmentation of the molecular ions. For example, ions corresponding to loss of •CF3 radicals are more abundant than those corresponding to loss of •CH3 radicals. The appearance potentials (a.p.'s) of the molecular ions and, where possible, of fragment ions formed from the molecular ion by loss of •CF3, •CH3, or ligand radicals are reported. The a.p.'s of the molecular ions are more sensitive to the nature of the ligand than to the metal. Thus, for the metal chelates studied here the a.p.'s of the molecular ions from ML2 and ML3 (L stands for ligand) were 9.95 ± 0.25 V for L = hfacac, 9.05 ± 0.35 V for L = tfacac, and 8.3 ± 0.35 V for L = acac. The energy required to dissociate a •CF3 or •CH3 radical from the molecular ion is sensitive to the nature and valency of the metal M, being low (relatively) for Al(III) and Fe(III), and high (relatively) for Cr(III) (inferred) and Fe(II). This variation is discussed in terms of the effect of substituent, and of interaction of metal d orbitals with the ligands.

Positive ion electron ionization mass spectra are presented for palladium(II) β-diketonates and monothio-β-diketonates of the general form PdII[RC(X)CHC(O)R′]2, where R = phenyl, 4-methoxyphenyl, 2-thienyl, or 2-naphthyl; R′ = trifluoromethyl, pentafluoroethyl, or n-heptafluoropropyl; and X = O or S. The mass spectral behavior is in sharp contrast to that of metals of the first transition series. The spectra of the β-diketonates are dominated by metal-containing ions that arise by migration of the R group from the ligand (L) to palladium, but there is no evidence for fluorine-to-metal transfer. These findings are consistent with HSAB theory. The strong tendency of palladium to form bonds with unsaturated carbon also leads to remarkably abundant metal-containing ions that arise by losses of CO or aryloxy radicals from [PdRL]+• ions. In contrast, in decompositions of ions in the spectra of the monothio-β-diketonates, migration of the R group is suppressed; competition for palladium dπ electrons by the sulfur donor makes palladium a poorer aryl group acceptor.

Some 3-amino-4-aryl-5-aryl(or alkyl)imino-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-thiadiazol, previously prepared and assigned structures on chemical evidence, are now confirmed in structure by a detailed study of their spectra. While i.r, and n.m.r, spectral data confirm the nature of the ring present in these compounds, mass spectra confirm the assignment of substituents on the ring. Mass spectra of these compounds exhibit specific fragmentation patterns and consequently are useful in structure elucidation of substituted 4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-thiadiazoles.

The mass spectra of bromonitroacetophenones, intermediates in the synthesis of phenethanolamine derivatives containing a nitro and bromo group in the aryl ring, have been studied. The acetophenones were converted into the corresponding α,β-epoxystyrenes, which were then treated with various amines, and proton magnetic resonance and mass spectral studies were used to confirm the direction of ring opening and purity of the products.

Mass spectra of title compounds I-VI have been studied with a view to comparing the fragmentation pattern of secondary amides in different structural environments.
