Notes:
Analysing the stereoisomeric effect on mass spectra for three pairs of geometric isomers (meso and racemic 2,3 dibromobutanes, cis and trans 1,2 dibromocyclohexanes and cis and trans dibromocyclopentanes) it is suggested that the [M - Br] ion formation is facilitated by participation of the other bromine, this participation being maximum when the two halogens are trans or diaxial. The particular bromine character and the analogy with solution chemistry are emphasized.
