An increasing number of fluorinated drugs, pesticides, and fine chemicals are now produced and applied, especially those containing polyfluorinated aromatic moieties. However, at present, the extent of literature covering the special mass spectrometric behaviors of these compounds remains limited. Herein, we report an unexpected but also general gas-phase dissociation mode of polyfluorinated aromatics in mass spectrometry: expulsion of difluorocarbene (50-Da neutral loss). Results from accurate mass measurements, tandem mass spectrometric experiments, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations support an intramolecular F-atom “ring-walk” migration mechanism for gas-phase CF2 loss. Based on an assessment of the electron ionization-mass spectrometry (EI-MS) data of more than 40 polyfluorinated aromatic compounds from the National Institute of Standards and Technology data bank, we generalized on the substitution group effects on the difluorocarbene dissociation process of polyfluorinated aromatic compounds in EI-MS. These studies have enriched our knowledge of the special gas-phase reactivity of polyfluorinated aromatics and will provide valuable information in further analytical research of these compounds by mass spectrometry.
