Electrospray ionization mass Spectrometry of hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20)

Hexanitrohexaazaisowurzitane (CL-20) is a newly developed propellant and has been examined using negative ion electrospray mass spectrometry. The primary ions observed included adduct ions (M + Cl)(-) and (M + ONO2)(-).
