%X Kinetic energy release values [T(50%) values] between 0.05 and 0.8 eV have been noted for the unimolecular decomposition M- &#8594; (M-NO.)- of the molecular anions of variously substituted nitrobenzenes. Large T values are observed when the substituent is strongly electron-withdrawing. Composite peaks are obtained for m-nitrobenzoic acid and m-nitroacetophenone, showing the occurrence of two distinct processes in these cases.
