As youve seen, the mass spectrum of even very similar organic compounds will be quite different because of the different fragmentation patterns that can occur. Coupling this gc analysis to a mass spectrometer has resulted in discrete mass spectra that more accurately characterize this important group of isomers. If good inferences could be made, use the remainder of the mass spectrum to try to elucidate structural features or isomerism. An introduction to mass spectrometry these pages have moved. By convention, m is the numerical value for the mass of the ion and z is the numerical value for the charge of the ion.
