Abstract: | The formation of numerical generalized characteristics (indices) of mass spectra by using one or two experimental parameters (mass numbers and/or ion peak amplitudes) is suggested. The influence of the measuring error of peak amplitudes on the statistical characteristics of indices was studied. It was ascertained by four classes of organometallic compounds that within an isolated class the value of each index is distributed by a normal law. The possibility of using mass spectral indices for the identification of unknown compounds is demonstrated. |
