ESI-MS electron spray ionization mass

The thus prepared ligands la-le-H4 are introduced into coordination studies with titanium(IV) ions in the presence of base (M2C03 M = Li, Na, K) with methanol as solvent. Negative ESI-MS (electron spray ionization mass spectrometry) of the obtained orange-red solids in methanol reveals that coordination compounds of general formula M2[l2(OCH3)2Ti2] are formed (Scheme 1.3.2) [20, 21]. 

Identification of different reaction products or different peaks from chromatograms is done by using standards or performing mass spectrometry. MALDI-TOF is an ionization technique frequently used. Also, combined setups can be found like LC-MS or UPLC-ESI-MS (electron spray ionization mass spectrometry) profiles. ...

Mass spectrometry (MS) is a very sensitive method of determining the mass of native proteins, as well as their purity. The two most common techniques are ESI-MS (electron spray ionization-MS) and MALDI-TOF-MS (matrix-assisted laser... 

From the analyses of NMR and electron-spray ionization mass (ESI-MS) spectroscopy, the polymers obtained from the polymerization of cyclic disulfides were found to be a cyclic structure [202], The cyclic structure consisting of poly(DT) is assumed to be formed by a backbiting reaction of propagating species [203]. Thermal and mechanical properties of the polymers, and decomposition behaviors of the polymers demonstrate that the polymers obtained from thermal polymerization of cyclic disulfides include a polycatenane structure. From polymerization of cyclic disulfides in the presence of cyclic polyethylene oxide), a polycatenane consisting of two different cyclic polymers was obtained [199]. Thus, poly(DT) contains spatial entanglements of cyclic polymers with each other (a polycatenane structure was presumed) (Fig. 61). 

In 2010, Xia, Huang and co-workers reported an iron-assisted chiral phosphoric acid catalyst for the Fridel-Crafts reaction between indole and 3-aryl a -hydroxy enones (Fig. 16) [70]. Due to the evidence from electron spray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) analysis for the presence of iron phosphate salt, an iron/ proton dual activation mechanism was proposed to account the observed reactivity/ selectivity trends. Addition of a third acid component, silver triflate, was shown to be beneficial for the enantioselectivity, presumably by exchanging chloride to the less coordinating triflate anion. 

Peaks are analyzed separately by their retention times, absorption, and fluorescence properties. RCCs show absorbance maxima near A.500 and 316 nm. For FCCs, UV-Vis specna show two prominent bands near 361 and 320 mn and a luminescence maximum at 436 mn and NCCs show UV-Vis spectra with absorbance maxima near 320 and 210 nm. Nevertheless, as none of these approaches is suitable for elucidating structures, it is necessary to apply additional MS and NMR analyses to fully characterize snuctural features. Electron spray ionization (ESI) and high-resolution EAB mass spectroscopy have been applied to elucidate the molecular formulae of colorless compounds. ... 

Aaserud et al. reported an on-line coupling of SEC to Fourier transform mass spectrometry (FT-MS) using a modified commercial electron spray ionization (ESI) interface (Fig. 29) [169]. They analyzed a glycidyl methacrylate/butyl methacrylate copolymer with a broad molecular weight distribution, where fractionation and high resolving power were required for adequate characterization. The SEC/ESI/FT-MS also allowed for an unequivocal end-group determination and characterization of a secondary distribution due to the formation of cyclic reaction products. 

After separation, the compounds are ionized prior to mass analysis. The most common techniques for ionization include chemical ionization (Cl), electron impact (El), electron spray ionization (ESI), and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI). Charged compounds are shutded into the mass analyzer which, depending upon the method, selects ions based on predetermined mass-to-charge ratio m/z) criteria, or scans within defined m/z ranges. If tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is... 

In terms of the hardware, TRMS methods described in this book use most common types of ion sources and analyzers. Electrospray ionization (ESI), electron ionization (El), atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI), or photoionization systems, and their modified versions, are all widely used in TRMS measurements. The newly developed atmospheric pressure ionization schemes such as desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) and Venturi easy ambient sonic-spray ionization (V-EASI) have already found applications in this area. Mass analyzers constitute the biggest and the most costly part of MS hardware. Few laboratories can afford purchasing different types of mass spectrometers for use in diverse applications. Therefore, the choice of mass spectrometer for TRMS is not always dictated by the optimum specifications of the instrument but its availability. Fortunately, many real-time measurements can be conducted using different mass analyzers equipped with atmospheric pressure inlets - with better or worse results. For example, triple quadrupole mass spectrometers excel at quantitative capabilities however, in many cases, popular ion trap (IT)-MS instruments can be used instead. On the other hand, applications of TRMS in fundamental studies often require a particular type of instrument (e.g., Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer for photodissociation studies on trapped ions).
