The low-resolution electron impact mass spectra (70 eV) of 52 N-nitroso compounds are presented. Aliphatic, aromatic, and cyclic nitrosamines are represented, as are nitrosamino acids and nitrosamides. Most of the compounds showed a molecular ion. Many of them gave a fragment ion at M-30 or M-31 and an ion of m/e 30 of variable intensity. A large number of the compounds showed an ion at M-17, corresponding to loss of OH. It is expected that almost any N-nitroso compound can be characterized and identified from its mass spectrum, and this publication, with the previously published ORNL-TM-4359, serves as a source of useful comparative spectra of a diverse list of nitrosamines.
