Charge reversal collisional activation mass spectremetry of negative ions has been used in conjunction with positive ion collisional activation to investigate several isomeric [H 2 , C, N, O] + ions. Generation of m / z 44 ions from formamide, acetamide, JV‐methylformamide, acetaldoxime and by charge reversal of the [M–1] − ion formed from formamide yields several different isomeric structures. Charge reversal of the conjugate base of formamide appears to yield a mixture of singlet and triplet H 2 NCO + ions; experiments with deuterium‐labeled compounds have been used to support this. Ab initio molecular orbital calculations indicate that the triplet ion is a stable structure, existing in a potential minimum 390.6 kJ mol −1 above the ground state singlet.
