A structural characterization of the products formed in the dissociative electron ionization of adamantane (C10H16) is presented. Molecular structures of product ions are suggested based on multiple-photon dissociation spectroscopy using the Free Electron Laser for Infrared eXperiments (FELIX) in combination with quantum-chemical calculations. Product ions are individually isolated in an ion trap tandem mass spectrometer and their action IR spectra are recorded. Atomic hydrogen loss from adamantane yields the 1-adamantyl isomer. The IR spectrum of the C8H11+ product ion is best reproduced by computed spectra of 2- and 4-protonated meta-xylene and ortho- and para-protonated ethylbenzenes. The spectrum of the product ion at m/z 93 suggests that it is composed of a mixture of ortho-protonated toluene, para-protonated toluene and 1,2-dihydrotropylium, while the spectrum of the m/z 79 ion is consistent with the benzenium ion. This study thus suggests that adamantane is efficiently converted into aromatic species and astrophysical implications for the interstellar medium are highlighted.
