Electron impact/ionization

To many, mass spectrometry is synonymous with El mass spectrometry. This view is understandable for two reasons. First, historically, El was universally available before other ionization methods were developed. Much of the early work was El mass spectrometry. Second, the major libraries and databases of mass spectral data, which are relied upon so heavily and cited so often, are of El mass spectra. Some of the readily accesible databases contain El mass spectra of over 390,000 compounds and they are easily searched by efficient computer algorithms. The uniqueness of the El mass spectrum for a given organic compound, even for stereoisomers, is an almost certainty. This uniqueness, coupled with the great sensitivity of the method, is [Pg.3]

A number of excellent reviews and books have included consideration of the fundamental electron impact ionization process, and the attention afforded the experimental measurement of ionization potentials and Augment ion appearance energies over the years is reflected in the comprehensive database of ionization potentials and gas phase ion enthalpies of formation published through the National Bureau of Standards in printed and electronic forms. In contrast, few absolute ionization cross sections have been measured. The most comprehensive compilation of molecular ionization cross sections are relative values measmed with a modified commercial electron impact mass spectrometer ion source using the cross section for Ar as a reference.  [Pg.27]


Coincidence experiments explicitly require knowledge of the time correlation between two events. Consider the example of electron impact ionization of an atom, figure Bl.10.7. A single incident electron strikes a target atom or molecule and ejects an electron from it. The incident electron is deflected by the collision and is identified as the scattered electron. Since the scattered and ejected electrons arise from the same event, there is a time correlation... [Pg.1428]

Figure Bl.10.7. Electron impact ionization coincidence experiment. The experiment consists of a source of incident electrons, a target gas sample and two electron detectors, one for the scattered electron, the other for the ejected electron. The detectors are coimected tlirough preamplifiers to the inputs (start and stop) of a time-to-amplitiide converter (TAC). The output of the TAC goes to a pulse-height-analyser (PHA) and then to a nuiltichaimel analyser (MCA) or computer. Figure Bl.10.7. Electron impact ionization coincidence experiment.

It is well known that the electron-impact ionization mass spectrum contains both the parent and fragment ions. The observed fragmentation pattern can be usefiil in identifying the parent molecule. This ion fragmentation also occurs with mass spectrometric detection of reaction products and can cause problems with identification of the products. This problem can be exacerbated in the mass spectrometric detection of reaction products because diese internally excited molecules can have very different fragmentation patterns than themial molecules. The parent molecules associated with the various fragment ions can usually be sorted out by comparison of the angular distributions of the detected ions [8]. [Pg.2070]

Molecular Identification. In the identification of a compound, the most important information is the molecular weight. The mass spectrometer is able to provide this information, often to four decimal places. One assumes that no ions heavier than the molecular ion form when using electron-impact ionization. The chemical ionization spectrum will often show a cluster around the nominal molecular weight. [Pg.812]

The mass spectrum is a fingerprint for each compound because no two molecules are fragmented and ionized in exactly the same manner on electron-impact ionization. In reporting mass spectra the data are normalized by assigning the most intense peak (denoted as base peak) a value of 100. Other peaks are reported as percentages of the base peak. [Pg.815]

Physical Chemical Characterization. Thiamine, its derivatives, and its degradation products have been fully characterized by spectroscopic methods (9,10). The ultraviolet spectmm of thiamine shows pH-dependent maxima (11). H, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra show protonation occurs at the 1-nitrogen, and not the 4-amino position (12—14). The H spectmm in D2O shows no resonance for the thiazole 2-hydrogen, as this is acidic and readily exchanged via formation of the thiazole yUd (13) an important intermediate in the biochemical functions of thiamine. Recent work has revised the piC values for the two ionization reactions to 4.8 and 18 respectively (9,10,15). The mass spectmm of thiamine hydrochloride shows no molecular ion under standard electron impact ionization conditions, but fast atom bombardment and chemical ionization allow observation of both an intense peak for the patent cation and its major fragmentation ion, the pyrimidinylmethyl cation (16). [Pg.85]

Similar detailed studies of RSFs have been carried out for GDMS, but not for electron-gun electron impact ionization or for SALI. The spread in elemental RSFs for electron-gas SNMS is comparable to that observed for Ar glow-discharge ionization of sputtered neutrals. ... [Pg.576]

The cross-section for electron impact ionization has already been mentioned in Sect. 2.2.2.2 in connection with electron sources, and a variety of experimental and theoretical cross-sections have been shown in Fig. 2.18 for the particular case of the K-shell of nickel. The expression for the cross-section derived by Casnati et al. [2.128] gives reasonably good agreement with experiment the earlier expression of Gry-zinski [2.131] is also useful. [Pg.40]

There are numerous ionization techniques available to the mass spectrome-trist, but for GC/MS almost all analyses are performed using either electron impact ionization or chemical ionization. [Pg.15]

Some of the problems encountered in the mass spectrometric study of ion-molecule reactions are illustrated in a review of the H2-He system (25). If the spectrometer ion source is used as a reaction chamber, a mixture of H2 and He are subjected to electron impact ionization, and both H2+ and He+ are potential reactant ions. The initial problem is iden-... [Pg.94]

Reactions of Complex Ions. For reactions of systems containing H2 or HD the failure to observe an E 1/2 dependence of reaction cross-section was probably the result of the failure to include all products of ion-molecule reaction in the calculation of the experimental cross-sections. For reactions of complex molecule ions where electron impact ionization probably produces a distribution of vibrationally excited states, kinetic energy transfer can readily open channels which yield products obscured by primary ionization processes. In such cases an E n dependence of cross-section may be determined frequently n = 1 has been found. [Pg.105]

Similarly, the thermal sensitivity of sulfur allotropes makes mass spectrometry of elemental sulfur and sulfur-rich compounds difficult especially with the conventional electron impact ionization. Nevertheless, valuable information has been obtained by this technique also. [Pg.33]

The products were identified by comparing the retention times of the reaction products with commercial compounds, and by GC-MS analysis in a Hewlett-Packard 5973/6890 GC equipped with an electron impact ionization at 70 eV detector and a cross-linked 5% PH ME siloxane (0.25 mm coating) capillary column. The reaction products were separated from the catalyst with filter syringes and analyzed in an Agilent 4890D and a Varian 3400 GC equipped with a flame ionization detector, and CP-Sil 8CB (30 m x 0.53 mm x 1.5 pm) and DB-1 (50 m x 0.52 mm x 1.2 pm) columns, respectively. Decane was used as an internal standard. The catalyst was thoroughly washed after reaction with acetonitrile, acetone and water, and dried overnight under vacuum at 40°C. [Pg.438]

Chromatography is typically at atmospheric pressure while source pressures in the mass spectrometer are in the range of 2 to 10 Torr for chemical and electron impact ionization, respectively. The interface must be capable of providing an adequate pressure drop between the two instruments and should also maximize the throughput of seuaple idiile maintaining a gas flow rate compatible with the source operating pressure. Further, the Interface should not introduce excessive dead volume at the column exit and should not degrade or modify the chemical constitution of the sample. [Pg.486]
