  1. Molecular Mass Spectrometry

  2. Mass Spectroscopy (MS) • The elemental composition of matter of samples • The structure of inorganic, organic and biological molecules • The quantitative and qualitative composition of complex mixture • Isotopic ratios of atoms in samples

  3. MS - Components Components of Mass Spectrometer

  4. GC/MS System Components

  5. MS - Ionization • Gas phase ionization (103 D): • Electron Impact (EI) – Energetic electron beam • Chemical Ionization (CI) – Reagent gaseous ions • Field Ionization (FI) – high potential electrode

  6. MS - Ionization • Desorption Ionization (105 D): • Field Desorption (FD) – High- potential Electrode • Electrospray Ionization (ESI) – High Electric Field (20 kV) • Matrix – Assisted Desorption/Ionization (MALDI) • Plasma desorption (PD) – Fission fragments from 252Cf • Thermospray ionization (TS) – High temperature

  7. MS - Ionization • Hard source – enough energy to rupture bonds and producing fragments (EI) • Soft source – provides always molecular weight of the molecule (CI; ESI, MALDI)

  8. MS – Electron-Impact Ionization

  9. MS – Ionization Chamber

  10. MS – Ring Component Spectrum

  11. MS - Spectra CH2Cl2 MW=84 1-Pentanol MW=88

  12. MS - Chromatogram

  15. MS – Ionization Mode and Spectra Electron- Impact 1- Decanol MW = 158 Chemical Ionization

  16. MS – Chemical Ionization • Most often use reagent is CH4: • Electrons will form several ions: CH4+; CH3+; CH2+ • Reactions (MH – sample molecule): CH4+ + CH4 CH5+ + CH3 CH5+ + MHMH2+ + CH4 (M + 1) CH3+ + CH4 C2H5+ + H2 C2H5+ + MH M+ + C2H6 (M – 1) (M + 29)

  18. GC/LC/MSSample Transfer

  19. MS – Direct Sample Introduction External Sample Introduction System Direct Sample Probe

  20. MS – Mass Analyzer • Resolution: R = m/Dm Where: m – mass of the first peak Dm – difference between two adjacent peaks Commercial MS have resolution 500 to 500,000 Dm = m/R

  39. MS - Chromatogram

  40. MS - Quantitative • SIM – single ion monitoring • Spectra mode • Precision – 2% to 10%

  41. MS – Spectra Interpretation • Base peaks and Relative Ion Intensities: • Determine molecular ion mass. CI if needed. • Elemental composition from isotopic abundance: • Look for A+2 pattern elements (Cl, Br, S, Si, O) • Check A+1 ratios for absence/presence of S and Si • Use the nitrogen rule to determine number of N’s (If MW is even N=0 or even number. If MW is odd = odd number of nitrogen atoms • Estimate number of H, F, I, and P from isotopic ratios and MW balance (P is multivalent; F=19; I=127 mass units) • Check allowance for rings and double bonds. Number of double bonds or rings = x – 1/2y +1/2 z +1 (x=C, Si; y=H, F, Br, Cl; z=N, P, O, S)

  42. MS – Spectra Interpretation • Use molecular ion fragmentation mechanism: • Check fragment masses differences for expected losses (Cl = 35; Br=79; Me=15; Et=29 etc…) • Look for expected substructures • Look for stable neutral loss (CH2 == CHR) • Look for products of known rearrangements • Postulate structures: • Search library data base • Run hit compound on the same instrument to confirm • Use MS/MS if further confirmation is needed
