The enhancement of the (C + 1)/C ratio in the fast atom bombardment mass spectra of seven pyridinium cations has been measured. No dependence of the enhancement on the cation reduction potential could be identified. The N-methyl pyridinium cation, which showed no enchancement under matrix-free conditions, exhibited an increase in the (C + 1)/C ratio with decreasing concentration. This concentration dependence was eliminated when the bombardment energy was reduced from 9 to 5 keV. Possible mechanisms for the concentration dependence and the variation with bombardment energy are proposed. Keywords: fast atom bombardment, reduction, pyridinium salts.

The fast atom bombardment mass spectra of selected 1,2-dihydro-1,3-disubstituted-2-oxo-pyrimidinium salts are presented. Loss of N-substituents from the solute cation is the principal fragmentation observed in the positive ion spectra. Several concentration dependent features of the spectra are identified; these are thought to result from the interaction of the solute cation with bombardment-induced matrix fragments. Cluster ions are observed in both positive and negative ion spectra. In a mixed solute system cluster ions resulting from extensive cation and anion mixing are observed; the concentration dependence of these mixed cluster ion peaks can be approximately described in terms of conventional solution equilibria.

Electron ionisation (EI) and fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectral fragmentations of nine 2,4-(and 2,1-) disubstituted o-( m- and p-)nitro-(chloro- and bromo-)-2-thiocytosinium halides are investigated. Fragmentation pathways, whose elucidation is assisted by accurate mass measurements and metastable transitions [EI-mass spectrometry (MS)], as well as FAB/collision-induced dissociation (CID) mass spectra measurements are discussed. The correlations between the abundances of the (C11H10N4SO2)+1–3; (C11H10N3SCl)+4–6 and (C11H10N3SBr)+7–9 ions and the selected fragment ions (EI-MS), as well as (C18H16N5SO4)+1–3; (C18H16N3SCl2)+4–6 and (C18H16N3SBr2) + 7–9 ions and the selected ions (C7H6NO2)+1–3; (C7H6Cl)+ 4–6; (C7H6Br)+ 7–9 (FAB-MS) are discussed. The data obtained can be used for distinguishing isomers.
