Mass spectra of model methylene cross‐linked bases and nucleosides have been studied to provide a more complete understanding of their electron ionization mass spectra for characterization of chemically modified products isolated from RNA or DNA. Four adenine and four adenosine derivatives were prepared having (CH 2 ) n cross links between N 6 groups where n = 1−4. Principal fragmentation processes are associated with homolytic cleavage of the methylene chain, often with olefin ion formation by a process associated with the presence of both bases. The fragment ions formed provide a clear means of differentiating base‐base linkages from base‐sugar or sugar‐sugar linkages.
