Fast atom bombardment mass spectra have been obtained of salts of analogues of inorganic pyrophosphoric acid, e.g. substituted methylene bisphonates, and positive ion fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FABMS) has proved to be more successful than negative ion FABMS for the analysis of these salts. Owing to the low molecular weight of these analogues, FAMBS of the free acids and the sodium salts does not always give results which are easy to interpret as interference by peaks from the matrix can occur. However, the potassium salts in a 60% glycerol matrix, when bombarded by argon atoms, give good FAB spectra which are relatively free of interfering peaks.
