Linked scans have been used in the pyrolysis mass spectrometry of polymers containing arylene and/or heteroarylene together with vinylene units. This technique based on metastable ions allows the study of characteristic sequences in complex mixtures of degradation ions up to high mass regions. Essential information is obtained concerning the mechanism of polymerization via the Wittig reaction, the pyrolytic and electron impact induced degradation processes and the ion structures which characterize the polymers.
