The metastable ions [M] 2+ , [M – H] 2+ · and [M – H 2 ] 2+ from malononitrile fragment by loss of [CH] + , [C] + · and [C] + ·, respectively. The reaction of the molecular ion involves the methylene and nitrile carbon atoms in the statistical probability ratio, while that of [M – H] 2+ · involves exclusively the nitrile carbon and that of [M H 2 ] 2+ involves an approximately equal contribution, from both sources. It is suggested that the metastable molecular ion fragments through a bipyrimidal intermediate.
