✦ Synopsis

Mass

spectra have been taken of benzene extracts from two typical carbon blacks, under various ionising energies and ionisation chamber temperatures.

The results broadly support previous studies, by other methods, in which fused-ring hydrocarbons were found to be the dominant constituents.

A number of heretofore unobserved species are found in lesser quantities.

Their identification is uncertain, but they seem likely to be alkanes, alkenes, dienes and other non-aromatics. Some species of large masses have been observed, extending up to about mass 646. They appear to be fused-ring hydrocarbons.
