Selected ion chromatograms of the polyaromatic hydrocarbons anthracene, pyrene and 1,2‐benzanthracene were recorded using high‐performance liquid chromatography coupled to electropspray ionisation mass spectrometry after derivatisation with tropylium cation to produce positive ions. LC/ESI‐MS/MS was then performed at five different collision energies (25–125eV) using m/z 178, 202 and 228 as precursor ions. Best fragment patterns were obtained in product ion mode at 100 eV.
