The fragmentation mechanisms of Ni(acac)2, Ni(hfac)2, Co(acac)2, and Co(hfac)2 ions in EI and ESI mass spectra were investigated with Density Functional Theory (DFT). The optimized geometries and energies of all possible ions were calculated at the APFD/6-311++G(d,p) level. [Ni(acac)2]+・ (m/z 256) in EI mass spectra generated the m/z 241 ion via methyl elimination. From the results of CID MS/MS spectra, it was found that the m/z 157 ion was then generated by secondary bond cleavage of the m/z 241 ion ([Ni(acac)2-CH3]+). The results of DFT calculations showed that these reactions were endothermic by 2.6 eV.
