SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the identification of compounds analyzed through mass spectrometry, specifically a compound with a molecular mass of 167.06 and suggested formulas C2H11N4O3Si and C3H11N4O2S. The latter formula has an i-Fit (norm) of 0.0, indicating it is the most probable candidate. Additionally, another compound with a molecular weight of 195.06 and the formula C5H15O5Ca is questioned regarding its potential derivation from naphthalene compounds. The user seeks insights into these compounds and has provided mass spectra for further analysis.

Dear all,
I got some results from mass spectrometry analysis of liquid samples (I am not really familiar with mass spectrometry). And I was wondering what could it be a compound with molecular mass of 167.06 and suggested formulas from the software: C2H11N4O3Si or C3H11N4O2S, the second gives a i-Fit (norm) of 0.0 so maybe is the most probable.

Does anyone know what kind of compound it is? could it be derived from tricyclic aldehydes ?

Then I have another compound with molecular weight of 195.06 and most probable formula C5H15O5Ca. Could this be derived for instance from naphtalene compounds ?

Thank you soo much,
