Abstract

Methyl fluoride cluster beams, (CH₃F)_n ionized by electron impact (EI) yield fragmentation patterns consisting solely of protonated parent ions plus ionic fragments produced by ejection of closed-shell molecules (e.g., HF, H₂, F₂, CH₄, in various combinations) therefrom. These ionic fragments result from extensive intramolecular rearrangement within the excited, solvated CH₃F⁺ ion. The major reactive processes are rationalized in terms of known gas phase bimolecular ion-molecule reactions, including those of the dimethylfluoronium ion.
