Popis: The structure and decomposition of the [C7H7]+ ions produced by electron-impact from o-, m- and p-chlorotoluene, o-, m- and p-bromotoluence, and p-iodotoluence, have been investigated. By determining the relative abundance of normal and metastable ions, these [C7H7]+ ions at electron energy of 20 eV are shown to be so-called ‘tropylium ions’. The amount of the internal energy of the [C7H7]+ ion estimated by the relative ion abundance ratios, † [C5H5]+/[C7H7]+ and m*/[C7H7]+ for the decomposition , is in the order iodotoluene > bromotoluene > chlorotoluene. The heats of formation of the activated complexes for the reaction were estimated. The values suggest that the decomposing [C7H7]+ ions from various halogenotoluenes are identical in structure.
