The structures of the C 4 H 7 O + and C 3 H 6 O +· dissociation products from selected C 5 H 10 O +· isomers with the oxygen on the first, second and third carbons were determined. The first product is CH 3 C(OH)CHCH 2 + and the second is CH 3 C(OH + )CH 2 ⋅ and CH 3 ⋅CHCHOH + in various proportions. These results demonstrate that ions with the oxygen on the first and third carbons isomerize partially to isomers with the oxygen on the second carbon. This and C 5 H 10 O +· isomers expected to be accessible to each other suggest that there are traversable pathways between about 60 C 5 H 10 O +· isomers, demonstrating how extensive interconversions of aliphatic radical cations can be.
