Kinetic Energy Release in the Loss of Water from n-Propanol Cation

摘要

Unimolecular dissociations of ionized aliphatic alcohols have been investigated extensively.Interestingly,competition between loss of hydrogen atom and water is quite different for lower aliphatic alcohol cations with different chain lengths.Loss of H dominates in the dissociations of methanol and ethanol cations,while loss of H_2O does in those of n-propanol and n-butanol cations.
