N2 - The XeO2 neutralization-reionization (NR) mass spectra of series of D+ adducts with aromatic compounds formed by CD4 chemical ionization have been determined. The results indicate that chlorobenzene, the chlorotoluenes and fluorobenzene undergo D+ attachment at the ring. By contrast, a variety of nitrobenzenes, benzonitrile and benzaldehyde undergo D+ attachment to the substituent. In all cases an ion signal is observed for reionization of the MD· neutral, although the results indicate that there is significant fragmentation of this neutral species.
