  1. Chem 3500 Mass Spectrometry Y. Zhao • Lecture 2 • A Glimpse of Mass Spectrometry Began from 1920s: Aston, Dempster, Thompson MS is often an ideal starting point in organic structure analysis C7H7NO M.W. 121 EI-MS of benzamide

  2. Chem 3500 Mass Spectrometry Y. Zhao What is Mass Spectrometry? A technique used to determine the masses of atoms or molecules in which electrical charges are placed on them and the resulting ions are separated by their mass-to-charge ratios (m/z). A Mass Spectrometer is an instrument that can separate charged atoms or molecules according to their mass-to-charge ratio.

  3. Chem 3500 Mass Spectrometry Y. Zhao Presentation of Data A Low-Resolution EI-MS of n-pentane. Each m/z value is the nominal molecular mass of the fragment (z = +1)

  4. Chem 3500 Mass Spectrometry Y. Zhao Species with a nominal mol. mass of 122 amu Exact mol. masses can be measured by using a High-Resolution Mass Spectrometer (HR-MS) The fate of a sample molecule in a mass spectrometer • Ionization—Molecular Ion (M+·) • Fragmentation and rearrangement—(fragment ions, radicals, neutral species)

  10. e e Chem 3500 Mass Spectrometry Y. Zhao Electron Impact/Ionization (EI) • EI is a “hard” ionization method • One electron is removed to form singly charged molecular ion, M+· • M+·carries excess internal energy and tends to fragment • Give reproducible spectra but limit to MW < 1,000 Da • Pressure < 10-5 Torr • ionization efficiency is high • electron energies ~ 20-70 eV Anode e e M + · Cathode

  12. Chem 3500 Mass Spectrometry Y. Zhao Chemical ionization (CI) • CI is especially useful (“soft” ionization) technique when no molecular ion is observed in EI mass spectrum, and also in the case of confirming the mass to charge ratio of the molecular ion. • Reagent gas is first ionized by EI. • Sample molecules are ionized by interaction with reagent gas ions. • Reagent gas : sample molecules ~ 100 : 1 • Positive and negative ions are formed in the CI process. However, depending on the instrument setup, only positive ions or negative ions are recorded in the spectrum. • Pressure = 0.1 – 2 Torr
