The unpublished in the literature FAB mass spectral fragmentation of seven oxosparteines (i.e., 2-oxosparteine, 15-oxosparteine, 17-oxosparteine, 2,17-dioxosparteine, 2,13-dioxosparteine, 2-oxo-13-hydroxysparteine, and 2-oxo-17-hydroxysparteine) is investigated. Fragmentation pathways, elucidation of which was assisted by FAB/collision-induced dissociation (CID) mass spectra measurements, are discussed. The data obtained create the basis for distinguishing positional isomers.

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.

The mass spectral fragmentation pathways of a series of phenylazoxypyridine-N-oxides have been studied under electron impact conditions using tandem mass spectrometry. Besides simple C—N cleavages, the azoxypyridine-N-oxides undergo deep-seated rearrangements directly from the molecular ion. In addition, the spectra are complicated by a purely chemical reduction of the N—O functionalities that occurs in the ion source prior to ionization.

The mass spectral fragmentation patterns of bis(trimethylsilyl)- and bis(trimethylgermyl)carbodiimides are compared. Metastable confirmed transitions involve elimination of neutral fragments apparently containing Si=N and/or Si=C bonds. The fragmentation pathways are similar for the germyl analogue but no proof of a fragment containing a Ge=C bond was observed.
