Popis: The gas-phase behaviour of organophosphorus compounds such as diethylmethylphosphonate towards electron impact (EI) ionization occurring in a quadrupole ion-trap instrument is investigated. If all ions observed in conventional EI mass spectra are detected, ion/molecule reactions are seen to occur leading to formation of protonated molecules and adduct ions such as 2M+· and [2M + H]+. The keto-to-enol-like isomerization of the molecular M+· ion seems to favour proton transfer to neutral M species and a “self chemical ionization” ion is observed with corresponding fragment ions.
