“…The pertinent data and their implications regarding the molecular composition of petroleum have been summarized previously [11,163]. Mass spectra of individual aromatics have been discussed by O'NEAL and WEIR [103], and a very comprehensive review on the mass spectra of alkylbenzenes is available [164].…”

“…Real-time digital data acquisition shows great promise of increased accuracy of mass measurement (probably ten-to a thousand-fold over photographic and analogue magnetic tape) and excellent relative peak intensity measurements with a dynamic range in excess of 1 part in 10 4 even for instrument resolutions in excess of 20,000 [41]. Such advantages are extremely desirable from the point of view of obtaining reproducible fragmentation patterns at high resolution for pattern comparison and structural identifications (also location of stable isotopes, e.g., 13 C, D, 180, 15N, by mass measurement), and particularly for the analyses of mixtures of compounds where the fragmentation pattern of the components is indeed additive and could be deconvoluted by matrix algebraic techniques (analogous to petroleum type analyses [11,42] mentioned in the sections on hydrocarbons).…”

“…This is especially true as the need to upgrade heavy distillates and residuals increases. Recent advances in the application of mass spectra to elucidate structures of compounds found in petroleum fractions of this boiling range point in this direction (43). At the moment five types of cycloalkanoaromatic hydrocarbons have been found, as exemplified in Table IX.…”

This report presents a complete qualitative picture of our knowledge of the hydrocarbon composition of petroleum as of April 1965. The material is presented in detail on an imaginative map called the Hydrocarbon Hemisphere which depicts the hydrocarbons identified in petroleum. All compounds are placed on the map according to boiling point.The accompanying text illustrates by structural formulas the several types of hydrocarbons identified, presents some quantitative data, and points out the possible geochemical significance of a number of the compounds with particular reference to lipids as possible source material.

“…The complexity of hydrocarbon types increases with boiling point, and analyses of higher boiling petroleum fractions are frequently quoted on the basis of mass spectrometric hydrocarbon-type analyses [98,99]. The application of mass spectrometry to petroleum analysis has recently been reviewed by POWELL [100].…”
