✦ Synopsis
Mass
spectrometry is applied to measure the intramolecular distribution of 15 N in N 2 O samples of near natural isotopic composition. The method is relatively straightforward and based on the analysis of the 14 NO and 15 NO fragment ion beams at mass 30 and 31, respectively, in combination with the standard analysis of the masses 44, 45, and 46 of the non-fragmented N 2 O. Various complications in the application, not all of which are resolved at present, are discussed.
