Mass spectrometric studies of the fragmentation of the methanethiol ion induced by charge exchange
Abstract
The fragmentation patterns of methanethiol and of 1,1,1-trideuteromethanethiol induced by charge exchange have been studied in a tandem mass spectrometer. The electronic structure has been interpreted using a 304 Å photoelectron spectrum. The results obtained are used to explain the high G-values for the depletion of methanethiol in argon sensitized radiolysis.
