Mass Spectra of Organometallic Compounds of Group IVb

Characteristic features of the dissociation of ions of organometallic compounds with silicon, germanium, tin, and lead are considered. Cyclic compounds are discussed separately; results on the following aspects are surveyed: rearrangements, metastable and multiply-charged ions, products of ionic-molecular reactions, and also the mass spectra of negative ions and correlations between ion decomposition processes and the thermal decomposition of the molecules of the compounds concerned.
