title: The electron impact mass spectra of di- and trinitrofluoranthenes.
abstract: The fragmentation pathways of a series of 18 dinitrofluoranthenes (DNF) and four trinitrofluoranthenes have been studied under electron impact conditions. In general, multiple losses of NO2, NO and CO from the molecular ion were observed. Quinonoid ions were observed in the spectra of DNF containing conjugated nitro groups. In addition, some unique fragmentation pathways were detected in the ortho-substituted 1,2- and 2,3-DNF and in the peri-substituted 3,4-DNF.
