Structure and reactivity of anions of aromatic hydrocarbons

This bachelor thesis deals with research about negative ions reactivity of aromatic hydrocarbons which occur in Titan's ionosphere - Saturn's moon. As an experimental method there was used tandem mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization technique, quadrupole mass analyzer and collision cell. The aim of this thesis was to contribute to the general understanding of processes in the Titan's ionosphere. Particularly there were performed experimental studies to created isomeric benzyne radical anions (o-, m-, p- C6H4˙- ) which were generated from phthalic, isophthalic and terephthalic acid and subsequently their reactions were explored with selected neutral gases in collision cell (C2H2, HC3N, CH3CN, SO2, O2)
