Abstract

The following table gives a list of neutral species that are most commonly lost when measuring the mass spectra of organic compounds. The list is suggestive rather than comprehensive, and should be used in conjunction with other sources [1-5]. The listed fragments include only combination of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen sulfur, and the halogens.
