Common MS Fragment Ions PDF

The document provides a table summarizing common fragment ions observed in mass spectrometry. The table lists the m/z ratio and possible ions for m/z values ranging from 15 to 127. Footnotes explain that ions labeled with "+H" involve hydrogen transfer and ions labeled "+2H" involve double hydrogen rearrangement.

Good diagnostic for benzene ring compounds
b
The “+H” notation means that the ion was formed by a rearrangement that involved the
transfer of a hydrogen atom from some other part of the molecule. For example:
H H
C O O
+
C
C CH3 H2C CH3
H2

You will notice that most of these “+H” entries have even mass values. The
rearrangement shown above produces an ion with m/z=58.

Those ions identified with a “+2H” arise from a double rearrangement. One example,
producing an ion of m/z=61 from an ester, is shown below.
