Investigation of benzohydroxamic acid derivatives adsorbed on a copper surface using laser ionization mass spectrometry for insightful molecular analysis. The study explores sample preparation, apparatus, measurement techniques, and mass spectra analysis, shedding light on the organic molecules' behavior on the copper substrate through solvent-dependent variations. Results demonstrate the influence of solvent choice on molecule orientation, coverage, and behavior, highlighting water as the preferred solvent for organic layer formation, except for p-nitro-BHA. The study also depicts distinct velocity distribution patterns for different samples dissolved in various solvents, emphasizing the significance of solvent selection in the preparation process.

BHA • benzohydroxamic acids • Formula - C7H7NO2
BHA Hydroxamic acids and derivatives are important molecules in: • biology: antibacterial and antifungal agents, enzyme inhibitors; • medicine: anticancer agents, anemia treatments, antibiotics; • industry: pharmaceutical, corrosion inhibitors.

Measurements technique • Neutral particles sputtered from the surface are ionized by pulsed laser beam: resonance enhancement non-resonant ionization Ionization potential Excited state (intermediate) Virtual level Electronic ground state
Apparatus • Ion beam: - 15 keV Ar+ ions bombardment; - Ion current - 1 µA → ion fluence = 1011 ions/cm2; • Laser beam: - Resonant enhanced multiphoton ionization of benzene ring λ= 259 nm; - Non-resonant ionization of Cu; - Laser energy – 1 mJpp → photon fluence = 1018 photons/cm2; • Detection: Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry; • Base vacuum – around 10-9 hPa;

Our interest • new kind of organic layer; • orientation on the surface; • BHA as non toxic corrosion inhibitor (passivation); • solvents and substituents dependent;
Mass spectra heavy masses Cu benzene
Mass spectra • organic molecules fragments in both cases: 78, 91; • a bit less amount of organic material on MeOH dissolved samples
Mass spectra • organic molecules fragments: 78, 92; • less organic signal from MeOH dissolved samples;
Mass spectra • organic molecules fragments from H2O dissolved samples: 65, 78, 91, 104, 108, 118, 133 amu; • a few signal from p-methoxy-BHA/MeOH samples; • the best covered copper surface by molecules dissolved from water solution;
Mass spectra • organic molecules fragments from MeOH: 78, 92, 108; • a little amount of material from water dissolved surface; • most probably more than one possible orientation on the surface;
Flight time distribution T – flight time (FT) at maximum amplitude A – maximum amplitude of flight time distribution W A W – FWHM of flight time distribution T FT [µs]
Copper Cu isotopes: 63 amu – 69% 65 amu – 31% • copper distribution doesn’t depend on solvent; • max. of FT – 2 µs;
p-Cl-BHA/Cu • H2O dissolved - distribution of copper is broader and shifted to lower kinetic energies; • MeOH dissolved – the same as for pure copper;
Maximum of FT distribution • samples dissolved in methanol show small changes in distribution; • copper from water dissolved samples is sputtered with lower kinetic energy; • p-nitro-BHA behaves different than the others samples;
Summary 1. Water dissolved: Cu surface well covered by organic molecules for BHA and p-methoxy-BHA 2. Methanol dissolved:small density of molecules or only fragments of molecules on the surface
Summary 3. Samples with p-nitro-BHA in MeOH show a distinct velocity distribution 4. Organic layer formation is solvent dependent: water is the best solvent for sample preparation (except for p-nitro-BHA)
