Conclusions
-
1.
The mass spectra of saturated tetracyclic and pentacyclic hydrocarbons were studied. When the norbornane fragment is present in the molecule, the [M-C3H5]+ ion or its homolog [M-C4H7]+ is only formed when this fragment is situated at the end of the molecule.
-
2.
Steric differences in the molecules of the stereoisomers are expressed in the mass spectra if the stereoisomers have differing stability.
