  • 3-a Listed are m/z and, in brackets, % relative abundance to nearest 5%.

  • 3-b Based on the methane adduct ions.

  • 3-c The corresponding 37Cl isotope ion was also observed.

  • 3-d Accompanied by the loss of H2O.

  • 3-e Accompanied by the loss of HCl.

  • 3-f Accompanied by losses of H2O and HCl.

  • 3-g Possibly formed by the loss of elements of C2H4 and CO from the [MH—H2O—HCl]+ion.
