The effect of substituents on the average internal energy of benzoyl ions generated from N‐(substituted‐phenyl)benzamides

Abstract
The [56.5*]/[105]+ ratios observed in the spectra of N‐(nitrophenyl)benzamides are greater than those observed in the spectra of N‐(methoxyphenyl)benzamides. These results differ from those observed in the spectra of monosubstituted benzophenones. An explanation, based on energy distribution and breakdown curves, is employed to rationalize these results, as well as other phenomena reported in the literature.
