Unexpected ortho interaction of the nitro group has been noticed during the mass spectral fragmentations of N ‐arylidene 2‐nitrobenzenesulphenamides, where the molecular ions expel SO 2 and N 2 both in concerted and stepwise processes. Loss of a hydrogen or the substituent from this fragment leads to a very abundant ion in all the compounds studied. Based on chemical evidence and linked‐scan studies, a 1,2‐phenylenetropylium cation structure has been postulated for the [M–SO 2 –N 2 –H/substituent] + ion.
