✦ Synopsis
Standard explosives and technical mixtures of explosives have been investigated by field desorption mass spectrometry. The compounds investigated gave intense molecular ions or protonated molecules and structurally significant fragmentation. For comparison, the corresponding electron impact and chemical ionization mass spectrometry data are reported. Emission-controlled field desorption. photographic detection, and accurate mass measurements enabled the components of the technical mixtures to be identified. An example of the determination of an additive in a technical product by field desorption mass spectrometry and stable isotope dilution is given. The use of these techniques for quahty control of explosives and for forensic investigations appears to be promising.

Field desorption mass spectra often contain few peaks, the largest of which are [MI: and [M+H]' ions. Because of this lack of fragmentation accurate mass measurement is of primary concern in field desorption mass spectrometry. Although total ion yield per quantity of sample may rival electron impact
