Mass Spectrometry. Field desorption mass spectrometry has been used to analy2e PPO (179). Average molecular weight parameters (M and could be determined using either protonated (MH + ) or cation attachment (MNa + ) ions. Good agreement was found between fdms and data supphed by the manufacturer, usually less than 5% difference in all cases up to about 3000 amu. Laser desorption Fourier transform mass spectrometry was used to measure PPG ion and it was claimed that ions up to m/2 9700 (PEG) can be analy2ed by this method (180). 

The laser desorption experiments which we describe here utilize pulsed laser radiation, which is partially absorbed by the metal substrate, to generate a temperature jump in the surface region of the sample. The neutral species desorbed are ionized and detected by Fourier transform mass spectrometry (FTMS). This technique has...

Laser desorption methods (such as LD-ITMS) are indicated as cost-saving real-time techniques for the near future. In a single laser shot, the LDI technique coupled with Fourier-transform mass spectrometry (FTMS) can provide detailed chemical information on the polymeric molecular structure, and is a tool for direct determination of additives and contaminants in polymers. This offers new analytical capabilities to solve problems in research, development, engineering, production, technical support, competitor product analysis, and defect analysis. Laser desorption techniques are limited to surface analysis and do not allow quantitation, but exhibit superior analyte selectivity.

Fourier transform mass spectrometry is made possible by the measurement of an AC current produced from the movement of ions within a magnetic field under ultra-high vacuum, commonly referred to as ion cyclotron motion.21 Ion motion, or the frequency of each ion, is recorded to the precision of one thousandth of a Hertz and may last for several seconds, depending on the vacuum conditions. Waveform motion recorded by the mass analyzer is subjected to a Fourier transform to extract ion frequencies that yield the corresponding mass to charge ratios. To a first approximation, motion of a single ion in a magnetic field can be defined by the equation...

To overcome this, instrumental techniques such as pulsed high-pressure mass spectrometry (PHPMS), the flowing afterglow (FA) and allied techniques like the selected-ion flow tube (SIFT), and ion cyclotron resonance (ICR) spectrometry and its modem variant, Fourier transform mass spectrometry (FTMS), have been developed. These extend either the reaction time (ICR) or the concentration of species (PHPMS, FA), so that bimolecular chemistry occurs. The difference in the effect of increasing the pressure versus increasing the time, in order to achieve bimolecular reactivity, results in some variation in the chemistry observed with the techniques, and these will be addressed in this review as needed.
