International audience; Gas chromatography (GC) is a reproducible, robust, selective and sensitive method to analyse volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in a wide range of applications. The separated analytes are generally characterised by mass spectrometry (MS) under vacuum conditions. The main ionisation method is the Electron Ionisation (EI): high energy exchanges occur, causing reproducible molecular fragmentations. Chemical Ionisation (CI) is another ionisation method where a reactive gas (i.e. methane or ammonia) is ionised to form reactant ions. GC-MS can also be conducted under atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric Pressure PhotoIonisation (APPI) is the most recent source [1]. Emitted pho…

The 70 eV and mass-analysed ion kinetic energy (MIKE) spectra of some thiophenecarboxanilides and benzoylanilides (1–10) have been compared in order to investigate the role of the aroyl (or heteroaroyl) moiety on the abundance of the competitive fragmentation reactions occurring in their molecular ions (amide–bond cleavage and phenol radical ion formation). It has been shown that the electron ionisation induced decompositions with high (70 eV) and low (MIKE) internal energy excess are qualitatively similar, but remarkable quantitative differences have been observed that can be accounted for in terms of the different effectiveness in the transmission of electronic effects of substituents in …
