The hydrogen and isobutane chemical ionization mass spectra of a number of carotenoids, with symmetrical and unsymmetrical end groups, have been examined. Similar spectra were obtained with each gas. Loss of fragments, characteristic of both the polyene chain and of the end groups were shown by all

Abstract
The chemical ionization mass spectrum of peroxyacetylnitrate, a major component of photochemical smog highly toxic to man and plants, was obtained using both methane and isobutane as reagent gas. The spectrum contains a [M + H]^+^ ion at m/e 122, intense fragment ions at m/e 43 [CH,CO]^+^ and m/e 46 [NO~2~]^+^, and less intense ions at m/e 61 [CH,ONO]^+^, m/e 77 [CH30NOz]^+^ and m/e 88 [^+^Oο£½CCH~2~ONO] formed by internal rearrangements. These results confirm the commonly accepted structure for peroxyacetylnitrate, CH~3~(CO)OONO~2~.

## Abstract The negative chemical ionization mass spectra of nitrobenzene, ethylene glycol dinitrate and nitroglycerine have been obtained using various reagent ions. For nitrobenzene, [OH]^β^ gives the [M β H]^β^, together with [M]^βΛ^ ions formed by electron capture, but other reagent ions gave r
