Low-energy negative ion mass spectra of glucose and fructose suggest deep fragmentation of short-lived molecular ions. Analysis of metastable ions in the mass spectra shows that some decomposition reactions proceed through intermediate ions [M–H2O]– •, etc. Along with the general similarity of ionization processes in the isomers, there is a significant difference in the intensive formation of ions at m/z 71 from glucose.
