AbstractThe neutral counterparts of the C2H7O+ isomers CH3O+ (H)CH3, CH3CH2OH2+ and \documentclassarticle}\pagestyleempty}\begindocument}$ \rm C}_2 \,\rm H}_4 \,\, \cdot \cdot \cdot \mathop \rm H}\limits^ + \, \cdot \cdot \cdot \rm OH}_2 $\enddocument} were studied by neutralization‐reionization mass spectrometry. Protonated dimethyl ether and its —O(D)+ analogue were produced by protonation (deuteration) of dimethyl ether and also generated as a fragment ion from (labeled) ionized CH3OCH2CH(OH)CH3 by loss of CH3CO⋅. It was observed that the dissociation characteristics of the ions and the stability of their neutral counterpart depended on the internal energy of the protonated ether ions. Stable neutral CH3Ȯ(H)CH3 was only produced from energy‐rich ions. The classical protonated ethanol ion CH3CH2OH2+ (a) was produced at threshold by the loss of CH3CO⋅. from ionized butane‐2,3‐diol. Mixtures of a with the non‐classical ion \documentclassarticle}\pagestyleempty}\begindocument}$ \rm C}_2 \,\rm H}_4 \,\, \cdot \cdot \cdot \mathop \rm H}\limits^ + \, \cdot \cdot \cdot \rm OH}_2 $\enddocument} (b) were produced by reaction of C2H5+ ions with H2O. As for the protonated ether, only high‐energy a and/or b ions yielded stable hypervalent radicals. It is suggested that the stable C2H7⋅O radicals are Rydberg states.
