An experimental survey of peak shapes in two-parameter mass spectra from charge separation of doubly charged ions has been combined with Monte-Carlo simulations of peak shapes for different mechanisms. As a result, the major mechanisms, deferred charged separation, secondary dissociation and concerted explosion, can now be recognised. Finer details and a number of recurrent peculiar peak shapes remain unexplained.

Ionised benzimidazole and its isomeric α-distonic ion (or ionised ylid) have been examined by recording their metastable ion, collision-induced dissociation and neutralisation–reionisation mass spectra. These tautomers may be distinguished by careful consideration of key features of the collision-induced dissociation spectra, with or without prior neutralisation and reionisation. Formation of doubly-charged ions by charge stripping occurs preferentially when the α-distonic ion is subjected to collision. This α-distonic ion survives neutralisation and reionisation, thus establishing that the corresponding ylid is stable on the microsecond time frame. The effects of benzannulation on the ease of differentiation of classical and distonic radical cations derived from biologically important heterocycles are considered.

Mass spectra obtained with the disjunctive d.c.-spark in vacuum show considerable improvement in accuracy and reproducibility over the conventional r.f.-spark of the DEMPSTER type. Higher ion currents increase the speed of analysis. A number of mass spectra were produced with a spectroscopic steel standard. The methods of visual and photometric spectrum evaluation are discussed in detail, using two quantities defined as “element sensitivity” and “normalized ionization sensitivity”. The former is a measure of how much more sensitive a given element can be photographically detected with the mass spectrograph than the main component of the sample (matrix element), while the latter indicates how much more sensitive multiply-charged ions of an element can be detected on the plate than singly-charged ions of the same element. Both element- and ionization sensitivities are reproducible to within approximately 20%. Furthermore, it is found, for most elements investigated, that the lines due to doubly-charged ions are more intense than those due to singly-charged ions and that the differences of element sensitivities of various elements decrease for ions of higher charge. The reproducibility of multiply-charged ions permits their use in the quantitative analysis of the sample.
