In reply to Brian Ahern's message of Tue, 30 Jan 2018 22:54:07 +0000: Hi, There is another point here too. IIRC a mass spec works by ionizing a particle then measuring the mass to charge ratio. A deep level D2* molecule has an ionization potential in the tens of kV, so is unlikely to be detected by a mass spec. at all.
