Preferred Label : fragmentation;
IUPAC definition : the breakdown of a radical ion in a mass spectrometer or in solution, forming an ion
of lower molar mass and a radical, e.g.; the breakdown of a radical into a diamagnetic molecule or ion and a smaller radical,
e.g.; the heterolytic cleavage of a molecule according to the general reaction: where a-b
is an electrofuge and x is a nucleofuge (which may emerge from the reaction in combined
form), and the middle group affords the unsaturated fragment c d. for example,;
