Field ionization kinetic and electron impact studies of gas phase transition states - The cyclic bromonium ion

Cis- and trans-isomers of 4-t-butylcyclohexyl bromide were studied to determine the mechanism of cyclic bromonium ion formation. The field ionization kinetic and electron impact data indicate that the formation of the cyclic structure occurs simultaneously with loss of the neutral fragment. The data also show that little or no gas-phase cis-trans isomerization occurs.

A field ionization study of octan-2-one

Electron-impact studies on deuterated aliphatic ketones have demonstrated that partial H/D randomization tends to occur prior to fragmentation. The scope of the studies is extended to include the kinetics and mechanisms of the fragmentation processes induced by field ionization of octan-2-one at very short times within the very high field in the vicinity of the blade emitter and at longer times in the low field regions.
