Chemical ionization of alkylbenzenes (PhCxH2x + 1 = M: x = 3-13) by the CH5+, C2H5+, and C3H5+ ions has been studied under a reactant-ion selective mode of an ion-trap type of GC/MS. The dominant product ions for short-chain reagents (x +, [Phil + H]+, and CxH2x + 1+ ions, produced through proton-transfer to benzene ring. On the other hand, the dominant product ions for long-chain reagents (x ≥ 7) were CyH2y + 1+ (y yH2y+ (y ≤ x) ions. The former ions are produced through the attack of the reactant ions on the alkyl chain and/or the benzene ring, while the latter ones are exclusively formed through the attack of the reactant ions on the alkyl chain. Major formation processes of CyH2y + 1+ and PhCyH2y+ ions in each reaction were discussed on the basis of observed distributions and calculated thermochemical data.
