The mechanism of intramolecular charge-splitting (charge-retention and -migration) occurring from McLafferty rearrangement of the molecular ion M.+ of methyl valerate was examined by high-accurate EIMS and DFT calculations. The charge and spin distributions of the stable and unstable intermediates of the enol-type molecular ion showed the presence of two different fragment ions which are produced by charge-splitting.
