12. The mass spectral patterns obtained from a quadrupole mass spectrometer strongly depend on the tuning of the instrument. Our tuning was set for characterizing heavy organic ions. With use of a calibration compound, perfluorobutylamine (FC43), the intensity of the m/z 219 ion was set to be slightly greater than that of the m/z 69 ion. The intensities of the m/z 502 and 614 ions are about 20% and 4% of that of the m/z 219 ion.
13. Below 200 °C a large number of low mass peaks are detected when a non-ether washed sample is used. These peaks have all disappeared by about 200 °C.
