ions generated from a number of different presursors have been studied by high kinetie energy ion—molecule reations. It has been shown that at least four distinct stable species oeeur, of which acetonitrile and methyl isoeyanide retain their original structure. With imidazole or pyrazole as precursors, a mixture of open thain radical cations, not identical to the above species and probably interconvertible via the 1 H ‐azirine radocal cation, is formed. From butrynitrile, pyrrole, crotonitrile, allyl interconvertible via the and cyanocyopropane a fourth species, probably the vinylidenimine ion, is formed.
