Twenty‐five tetraalkylammonium halide salts were investigated by means of electron impact mass spectrometry. In all cases, corresponding ammonium cations have been detected at low electron energy. Moreover, [C+M] + have been detected (where C and M denote ammonium cation and molecule, respectively) for both symmetrical salts and iodine salts. Quaternary ammonium salts are considered to be more stable than believed previously.
