Electron ionisation induced fragmentation of fused norbornene analogues containing SiMe2 or GeMe2 and oxygen bridges. Migration of SiMe2 and GeMe2 groups.
The main electron ionisation induced fragmentation processes of fused norbornene analogues containing SiMe2 or GeMe2 and oxygen bridges, as well as their dependence on substitution, were investigated using mass (MS) and tandem mass (MS/MS) spectrometric analysis. Formation of the rearrangement ions of m/z 176 in the mass spectra of fused norbornene analogues containing SiMe2 and m/z 222 in the mass spectrum of norbornene analogues containing GeMe2 provides firm evidence for the migration of a SiMe2 and GeMe2 bridge, respectively.
