The interaction of the s electron system of furyl and thienyl substituents with the silicon (or germanium) atom is less significant in fragmentation under fast atom bombardment than under electron impact. Under fast atom bombardment the primary fragmentation of the title compounds is determined by steric influence of the heteroaromatic substituents.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
