## Abstract Benzylpyridinium ions, generated via electrospray ionization of dilute solutions of their salts in acetonitrile/water, are probed by collisional activation in an ion‐trap mass spectrometer. From the breakdown diagrams obtained, phenomenological appearance energies of the fragment ions a

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Certain of the “meta‐stable peaks” in mass spectra are abnormally wide. This extra width is shown to be associated with release of kinetic energy during fragmentation. Methods are presented for measuring this energy release and values are given for various transitions in the spectra of aromatic nitro compounds.

## Abstract The so‐called ‘deconvolution’ method has been used to determine the internal energy distribution of molecular ions of an organic compound, benzene, excited by collisions with self‐assembled monolayer surfaces formed on gold. The average internal energy was found to increase linearly wit
