Interpretation of Mass Spectrometry Data through Linear Free Energy Relationships

  • Chapter
Advances in Linear Free Energy Relationships

Abstract

It was observed several years ago1,2 that correlations of the intensities of peaks in mass spectra with Hammett σ constants could be found. Fig. 10.1 illustrates one of the best of these; others have been collected in an earlier review.3 The present review is concerned with explanations of such correlations. To do this, it is necessary to consider the factors which influence the relative intensities of ions in mass spectra, and how these factors for a given type of compound may be affected by substituents.
