Figure 18. Distribution by carbon number of the monocyclic sulfides in the pyrolysis oil of Athabasca asphaltene as determined by SIR-GC/MS. Peaks labelled 15 correspond to compounds having 15 carbon atoms. Each fragmentogram is normalized to the most abundant peak. The relative intensities of the m/z = 87, 101 and 115 fragmentograms are 9.1 3.1 1.0, respectively. (Reproduced with permission from Ref. 26.
