Photoionization mass spectrometry of aliphatic monoterpene alcohols

Summary 1. The dissociative processes observed in the photoionization of monoterpene alcohols have been investigated. It has been established that the relative intensities of the peaks of the heavy ions, including the molecular ions, are higher on photoionization than on electron impact.2. It has been found that the mass spectra of the isomeric alcohols obtained on photoionization differ from one another to a greater degree than the electronic mass spectra.Agrophysical Scientific-Research Institute.
