Abstract
The principal decomposition routes of molecular ions of cis, cis, cis-2,4,6-octatriene, cis, cis, trans-2,4,6-octatriene, trans, cis, trans-2,4,6-octatriene, trans-5,6-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene and cis-5,6-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene were studied using ion kinetic spectroscopy. The loss of radicals from [M]+· appears to proceed via a ground state, while loss of a neutral molecule appears to involve either complete equilibration of structure within the system or both ground state and excited state pathways.
