Abstract
Azi and hydrazi derivatives of adamantane,adamantanone and diamantane were studied by mass spectrometry. The EI spectra of azi derivatives lack completely molecular ions; the presence of abundant dehydroadamantane or dehydrodiamantane ions corresponds to elimination of nitrogen molecule from the molecular ion. Comparison of the EI ionization with photolysis or pyrolysis allowed to deduce some analogies and to suggest the mechanism of decomposition of the molecular ion.
