Abstract:. Can. J. Chem. 59, 1819Chem. 59, (1981. The mass spectra observed on sampling the unburnt gases of a flame ionization detector to which nitromethane has been added are due mostly to proton transfer reactions of NH4+ and H30+. These are formed in the reaction zone from the primary ion HCO+, and pass through the unburnt gases to the sampling orifice. The ions which are detected may be attributed to pyrolysis (CH4NO+ and NO+) or hydrogenation products (CH2NH2+ and CH3NH2+) of nitromethane. The small amount of … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
