Notes.

(a)

Extracted from the online database of the National Institute of Standard and Technologies (NIST);

(b)

a value of 1 was adopted, assuming that no double ionization of the molecules takes place;

(c)

extracted from the mass spectral library of the QMS software;

(d)

calculated for our QMS and valid for experiments 1, 2, 6, 9, and 10 (see Sect. 2);

(e)

for experiments 3 and 7 (see Sect. 2);

(f)

for experiments 4, 5, and 8 (see Sect. 2);

(g)

calculated with Eq. (4).
