Effect of structural factors on the disintegration of the molecular ions of nitrophenylisoxazoles during electron impact

The dissociative ionization of some nitrophenylisoxazoles was investigated. The effect of the energy of the ionizing electrons and the temperature of the inlet system on the elimination of NO by the molecular ion is examined. On the basis of a comparison of the intensities of the peaks of the (M-NO)⁺ ions, the presence of a correlation between the probability of detachment of NO from the molecular ion and the stability of the cyclic conjugated structures with localization of the charge on the oxygen atom is demonstrated.
