Abstract: | The mass spectral properties of the title compounds have been recorded and compared. For the haloacetyl systems ring expansions to tropylium ions and π-benzene iron ions are observed. A major ion present in all haloacetyl spectra is that derived from the corresponding acetyl compound, CH3CO-, formed via an instrument catalyzed reduction of the halo compounds by residual water. Some substituent effects are observed. Considerable halogen migration to iron is observed for the ferrocene complexes. |
