Abstract The Euclidean distance between mass spectra in an n-dimensional hyperspace is a good measure of chemical-structural similarity of low molecular organic substances. The KNN-method (K-nearest neighbor), well-known in pattern recognition, was used to find neighbor-spectra from a library which are close to the mass spectrum of an unknown substance. These neighbors are very suitable to determine some classes of molecular structures of the unknown substance, which need not be a member of the library. On an average the first neighbor has the highest classifying capability.
