Notes:
The ion kinetic energy (IKE) spectra of the isomeric di-and trichlorobenzenes have been examined and the data for the latter compounds suggested that there was incomplete chlorine randomization in their molecular ions in the first field-free region of the mass spectrometer. Previous studies on the mass spectra and [metastable ion]/[daughter ion] ratios of the di-, tetra- and hexachlorobiphenyls (PCB's) indicated chlorine randomization in the molecular ions of those isomers containing less than two chlorine groups ortho to the Ph-Ph ring junction. In contrast the IKE spectra of the isomers are different and the results indicate incomplete chlorine randomization in the first field-free region of the mass spectrometer. These spectral differences may be of some use in PCB analysis.
