TY - JOUR AU - Rankin, Peter, C AB - Abstract A study of the negative ion mass spectra of a number of complex organic molecules (pesticides) was undertaken to determine what information this technique would yield for structural analysis. The simplicity of the negative ion mass spectra was a characteristic feature and the most abundant negative ions in the spectra were assumed to be similar to the stable carbanions postulated in classical organic chemistry. The simplicity of the mass spectra suggested a possible application of the technique to the identification of carbamate pesticides. This content is only available as a PDF.
