Com apenas um espectro de massas é possível fazer a atribuição de configuração de um isômero, sem a necessidade de comparação com outros espectros de massas. Para provar o príncipio foram testadas as seguintes classes de isômeros: acetonaftonas, alquilanilinas, carbetoxipiperidinas, metiltiofenos, ácidos ciclohexeno carboxílicos e metilpiperidinas. Os precursores foram submetidos a EI a 70 eV, e o comportamento dissociativo foi estudado com o intuíto de se identificar o FIDE. É desejável que o FIDE tenha as seguintes características: i) seja formado por todos os isômeros dentro do conjunto, ii) mantenha a informação estrutural da molécula precursora, iii) seja estável em fase gasosa e iv) os FIDE¿s formados por cada um dos precursores devem ter estruturas diferentes e estes não podem interconverter-se. Para cada classe de isômeros foi selecionado a m/z do FIDE e este íon foi submetido à dissociação induzida por colisão (CID), esperando que sua dissociação seja distinta dependendo do precursor, e à reações íon/moléculas, esperando que FIDEs de precursores diferentes formem diferentes produtos iônicos. Foi utilizado um espectrômetro de massas pentaquadrupolar que permite experimentos de MS/MS/MS, que permitiu caracterizar os produtos iônicos formados nas reações, através de CID. / Abstract: Herein, it¿s described an absolute method for structure assignment of constitutional isomers exploring the gas phase behavior of a structurally diagnostic fragment ion (SDFI) generated by each one of the precursor molecules within an isomeric set. This method allows the unequivocally assigning of the configuration of a precursor isomer with only one mass spectrum. To prove the principle the following isomeric sets were tested: acetonaphthone, alkylanilines, carbetoxypiperidines, methylthiophenes, cyclohexene carboxylic acids and methylpiperidines. All of the precursor isomers were submitted to 70 eV electron ionization (EI) with the intent of identifying the proper SDFI for each of the isomeric sets. Ideally, the SDFI should have the following characteristics: i) must be formed by all the isomers within the isomeric set, ii) retain the structural information of the precursor molecule, iii) be stable (long lifetime) and iv) the SDFI generated from different precursors must have different structures and must not interconvert into one another. The m/z of the SDFI is selected and then submitted to collision induced dissociation, hoping that the dissociative behavior is different depending on the precursor molecule, and ion/molecule reactions, hoping the bimolecular chemistry is different due to the formation of different ion products. For all the experiments it was used a pentaquadrupole mass spectrometer that allows MS/MS/MS, therefore allowing characterization of the ion products generated by ion/molecule reactions through collision induced dissociation. / Doutorado / Quimica Organica / Doutor em Ciências

Reatividade e dissociação de ions organicos, organometalicos e metalo-organicos por espectrometria de massas / Reactivity and dissociation of organic ions and organometallics compounds by mass spectrometry

Tomazela, Daniela Maria 14 December 2004 (has links)
Orientadors: Marcos Nogueira Eberlin / Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Quimica / Made available in DSpace on 2018-08-07T03:01:47Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Tomazela_DanielaMaria_D.pdf: 2307111 bytes, checksum: 8930afc2e1f6c20f4a7ab49ea293bf65 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2004 / Resumo: Os dois primeiros capítulos desta tese foram desenvolvidos em um espectrômetro de massas pentaquadrupolar. No capítulo 1 foi proposto uma definição mais extendida para os íons distônicos: "íons distônicos são aqueles que apresentam alto grau de separação dos sítios de carga e spin". Escolheu-se o composto 2-metileno-1,3-dioxolano, que pela definição corrente é considerado um íon clássico, para estudos de reações íon-molécula diagnósticas de classes para íons distônicos. Os resultados experimentais e corroboraram a natureza distônica do íon em estudo como previsto através de cálculos teóricos. O capítulo 2 mostra estudos da reatividade intrínseca em fase gasosa de íons N-acilimínios cíclicos com viniloxitrimetilsilano em reações do tipo Manich. Os íons N-acilimínios com grupos carbonil endocíclicos reagem via uma interessante reação em tandem. Os produtos iônicos foram estruturalmente caracterizados por espectrometria de massas de triplo estágio. Cálculos Becke3LYP/6-311G(d,p) corroboraram o mecanismo proposto. Os capítulos 3 e 4 foram desenvolvidos em um espectrômetro de massas híbrido com geometria QqTof. O capítulo 3 descreve a caracterização de porfirinas supramoleculares obtidas através da coordenação de cátion[Ru(bipy)2Cl] ao átomo de nitrogênio das séries meta e para dos isômeros meso-fenilpiridil porfirinas por ESI-MS e ESI-MS/MS. Os dados de MS e MS/MS se mostraram consistentes com as estruturas propostas e indicaram que a ligação Ru-N(pyP) é a mais fraca e por isso, a mais suscetível a dissociações. O Capítulo 4 descreve a identificação por ESI(+)-MS e ESI(+)-MS/MS de séries de paladaciclos, sendo elas, dímeros neutros de cloro, compostos do tipo pinça e também, paladaciclos monoméricos. O objetivo principal foi o estudo das espécies de paladaciclos que podem ser formadas em solução, considerando que a maioria das aplicações para estes compostos envolvem sua dissolução em solventes orgânicos. O estudo de soluções de acetonitrila destes compostos revelou que é possível a formação de vários derivados iônicos de paladaciclos em solução. No capítulo 5 vários complexos catiônicos do tipo [Ru3O(CH3COO)6(py)2(L')] contendo dois ligantes piridina (ligante de referência) e outro ligante L' ao centro metálico catiônico [Ru3O] foram transferidos intactos para a fase gasosa com o auxílio da ionização por electropray a partir de soluções metanólicas dos sais destas espécies. Através da seleção de massas destes complexos gasosos e pode-se medir a força relativa das ligações metal-ligante pela primeria vez para este tipo de composto / Abstract: The first and second parts of this theses are based on experiments carried out on a pentaquadrupole mass spectrometer. In the first part is proposed a revised and more general definition for distonic ions: "distonic ions should be those displaying high degree of actual charge and spin separation". We choose the ionized compound 2-methylene 1,3-dioxolane to be submitted on some ion-molecule reations that have been used as diagnostic for distonic ion. These results experimentally corroborate the distonic ion nature of this ion as predicted by the theoretical calculations. In the second part is shown the intrinsic gas-phase reactivity of cyclic N-acyliminium ions in Mannish-type reactions with the parent enol silane (vinyloxytrimethylsilane). N-acyliminium ions with endocyclic carbonyl groups locked in s-trans forms participate in an interesting tandem N-acyliminium ion reaction. Product ions were isolated by mass-selection, and structurally characterized by triple-stage mass spectrometric experiments. Becke3LYP/6-311G(d,p) calculations corroborate the proposed reaction mechanisms. The third and fourth parts were carried out on a Q-Tof mass spectrometer using electrospray ionization. The third part is on the caracterization of supermolecular porphyrin species obtained by the coordination of [Ru(bipy)2Cl]+ cations to the pyridyl N-atoms of the meta and para series of isomers of meso-(phenylpyridyl) porphyrins by ESI-MS and ESI-MS/MS. All MS and MS/MS data are fully consistent with the proposed structures showing that the Ru-N(pyP) bond is the weakest bond and the most susceptible to dissociation. The fourth chapter is on the identification of a series of neutral chloro dimers, pincer type, and monomeric palladacycles by ESI(+)-MS and ESI(+)-MS/MS. In most of the applications that involves the use of palladacycles dissolved in organic solvents is often assumed that the neutral nature of the halogen dimers or pincer type structures is usually maintained. The investigations of its acetonitrile solution revealed several of their derived ionic species. In the last part variety of [Ru3O(CH3COO)6(py)2(L')] cationic complexes with three mixed ligands rather loosely bonded via the ruthenium atoms to a central, entirely symmetrical tridentaded and spherical Ru3O-cation and with two pyridines as "anchor" reference ligands have been synthesized and transferred intact and efficiently from methanol solutions to the gas phase environment of a mass spectrometer by soft electrospray ionization (ESI). Using these gaseous and isolated (by mass-selection) complexes, the relative strengths of ligand-metal binding of organometallic complexes have been, for the first time, measured. / Doutorado / Quimica Organica / Doutor em Ciências

<div>Mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful and versatile analytical tool that is extensively used for the identification and analysis of complex mixtures. The ability to couple MS to atmospheric pressure ionization techniques and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or gas chromatography (GC) provides a high degree of experimental flexibility.

Formation of Small Hydrocarbon Ions Under Inter- and Circumstellar Conditions: Experiments in Ion Traps

Savić, Igor 02 September 2004 (has links) (PDF)
Using ion-trapping techniques, selected laboratory experiments on ion-molecule reactions of astrophysical interest have been performed. For the first time a carbon beam source has been integrated into an ion trapping machine for studying collisions between ions and neutral carbon atoms and molecules. Results are presented for the interaction of D3+ ions stored in a ring-electrode trap (RET), with a beam of hot neutral carbon molecules, Cn (n = 1, 2, 3). The measured reaction rate coefficients are up to a factor two smaller than values presently used in astrophysical models. In order to complete our knowledge about the ion chemistry involving three carbon atoms, detailed investigations of reactions of C3+, C3H+ and C3H3+ with H2 and HD have been performed between 15 K and room temperature. These studies have been performed in a second apparatus, a variable-temperature 22-pole trap machine (VT-22PT). Results include reactive collisions, deuteration and radiative association. It is discussed in connection with the increase in lifetime of the C3+ + H2 collision complexes with falling temperature, what could be responsible for producing more C3H+ at 15 K. Tunneling is excluded. In C3+ + HD collisions an isotope effect has been detected, the C3D+ product ions being slightly more abundant than C3H+. Comparison of the reaction of C3H+ primary ions with HD and H2 gas revealed that the deuterated molecules are significantly more reactive. The process of radiative association of C3H+ and for the first time of C3+ with hydrogen molecules has been observed. An analysis of the data shows that radiative association becomes slower, if the neutral reactant is deuterated. Finally, the theoretical prediction from ab initio calculations that C3H3+ does not exchange an H for a D in collisions with HD, has been proven in an ion trap experiment. Careful analysis of all competing processes allows the conclusion that the rate coefficient is smaller than 4x10-16 cm3s-1 at 15 K. / Unter Verwendung von zwei Speicherapparaturen wurden ausgewählte, astrophysikalische wichtige Ionen-Molekülreaktionen untersucht. Durch die Kombination einer Kohlenstoffquelle mit einem Ionenspeicher, in dem so Reaktionen zwischen Ionen und Kohlenstoffmolekülen oder -atomen untersucht werden können, wurde Neuland betreten. Es werden Ergebnisse vorgestellt für die Reaktion von D3+ Ionen, die in einem Ringelektrodenspeicher gefangen sind, mit einem Strahl von heißen Cn (n = 1, 2, 3). Die gemessenen Ratenkoeffizienten sind nur halb so groß wie die Werte, die in astrophysikalischen Modellen verwendet werden. Um die Kenntnis über alle möglichen Reaktionen, bei denen drei C-Atome beteiligt sind, abzurunden, wurden zwischen 15 K und Zimmertemperatur die Reaktionen zwischen C3+, C3H+ und C3H3+ Ionen mit H2 und HD in vielen Details untersucht. Diese Experimente wurden in einer zweiten Apparatur durchgeführt, in der ein temperaturvariabler 22-Polspeicher das zentrale Element ist (VT-22PT). Berichtet werden Ergebnisse zu reaktiven Stößen, zur Deuterierung von Kohlenwasserstoffen und zur Strahlungsassoziation. In der Diskussion bleibt offen, was - in Verbindung mit der von 300 K zu 15 K zunehmenden Lebensdauer - der Grund dafür sein kann, daß die Bildung des exothermen Produkts C3H+ anwächst. Der Tunneleffekt scheidet aus. Bei der Reaktion C3+ + HD wurde ein Isotopeneffekt beobachtet, das C3D+ Produkt wird etwas häufiger gebildet als C3H+. Ein Vergleich der Reaktion zwischen C3H+ Ionen mit HD bzw. H2 zeigt, daß das deuterierte Molekül wesentlich reaktiver ist. Es wurden Ratenkoeffizienten für die Strahlungsassoziation von H2 Molekülen mit C3H+ und erstmals mit C3+ Ionen gemessen. Die Auswertung der Daten zeigt, dass der Prozeß langsamer abläuft, wenn der neutrale Stoßpartner deuteriert ist. Schließlich wurde experimentell die theoretische Vorhersage überprüft, dass C3H3+ keinen H-D Austausch mit HD eingeht. Eine sorgfältige Analyse aller konkurrierenden Prozesse ergab, dass bei 15 K der Raten koeffizient kleiner als 4x10-16 cm3s-1 ist.

Reakce iontů s molekulami H2 a rekombinace iontů H+3 s elektrony při kryogenních teplotách / Reactions of Hydrogen Molecules with Ions and Recombination of H+3 Ions with Electrons at Cryogenic Temperatures

Hejduk, Michal January 2013 (has links)
We studied how distribution of nuclear-spin states of H+ 3 ions or H2 molecules influence rate coefficients of H+ 3 -electron recombination or reactions of H2 with N+ or H+ , with regard to kinetic and internal temperatures of the reactants. Experiments were carried out in plasma environment or in an ensemble of ions in an ion trap. Main diagnostic methods were the Langmuir probe diagnos- tics, laser absorption- and mass spectroscopy. The distribution of nuclear spin states (para and ortho) was varied using a specially constructed para-hydrogen generator. We performed pioneer measurements of the rate coefficients for the nuclear-spin-state-selective binary and ternary H+ 3 -electron recombination in thermalised plasma. We performed studies of N+ + para/ortho-H2 reaction with high accuracy and interpreted the results as dependent on fine structure states of N+ ions. We measured a temperature dependence of the rate coeffi- cients for radiative and ternary channels of H+ + para/ortho-H2 association. 1

Gas-phase Reactivity Studies of Organic Polyradicals, and Studies of C-H Bond Activation of Hydrocarbons by Ion-molecule Reactions with closo-[B12Br11]- Ions Using Mass Spectrometry

Xin Ma (9511208) 16 December 2020 (has links)
<div>Mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful and versatile analytical tool, especially for identification and analysis of complex mixtures. Coupling to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or gas chromatography (GC) provides additional dimension for mixture analysis. MS manipulates ionized analytes and separates them based on their mass-to-charge (<i>m/z</i>) ratios. MS is capable of providing molecular weight (MW) information by generating pseudo-molecular ions of the analytes. Detailed elemental compositions can be also obtained if high resolution MS is used. MS can also provide extensive structural information of the analyte ions. One of the most commonly used technique is tandem mass spectrometry (MS<sup>n</sup>). Ions of interest are isolated and subject to sequential reactions (reactions with other molecules or dissociation reactions) to generate product ions that can provide structural information. MS is also a powerful tool for generating and studying highly reactive reaction intermediates, such as organic polyradicals.</div><div><br></div><div>The research described in this dissertation mainly focuses on the generation and gas-phase reactivity studies of different organic biradicals. Their reactions with various organic reagents are studied, and the reactivity-controlling factors are discussed. For example, the reactivity of several substituted pyridine-based biradical cations with 2,6-topology are discussed (all with singlet ground states), and their special reactivity from their excited triplet states are illustrated. Besides, several quinoline-based biradicals and cyano-substituted pyridine-based <i>para</i>-benzyne cations are also discussed. Some of the radicals (or ions) described in this dissertation are generated for the first time, i.e. the quinoline-based oxenium cations. Their structural characterization and gas-phase reactivity toward some organic molecules are discussed in the dissertation. Further, an electrophilic anion, <i>closo</i>-[B<sub>12</sub>X<sub>11</sub>]<sup>-</sup> (X = Cl, Br) and its application in the activation of C-H and C-C bonds in hydrocarbon molecules are described in the dissertation.</div>

DEVELOPMENT OF MASS SPECTROMETRIC METHODS FOR FAST IDENTIFICATION OF MUTAGENIC DRUG IMPURITIES AND A GAS-PHASE REACTIVITY STUDY OF GROUND-STATE SINGLET OXENIUM CATIONS VIA ION-MOLECULE REACTIONS

<p dir="ltr">Tandem mass spectrometry (MS<sup>n</sup>) has become the most widely used analytical technique for the chemical characterization of unknown organic compounds in complex mixtures. It has led to the development of a large number of mass spectrometers with different mass analyzers as well as a wide array of ionization methods. This technique can be coupled with a diverse range of chromatography methods, such as gas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Some of the primary strengths of MS include its great sensitivity, its versatility to seamlessly integrate with various chromatography techniques and its flexibility in the sense of access to different mass analyzers and different ionization methods. During MS experiments, analytes are evaporated and ionized and the resulting ions are separated based on their mass-to-charge (<i>m/z</i>) ratios and then detected. On the other hand, MS<sup>n</sup> experiments involve isolating a specific ion of interest from all other ions and subjecting them to reactions such as collision-activated dissociation (CAD) or ion-molecule reactions. These reactions generate product ions that can be used to obtain structural information for the analyte. In addition, MS<sup>n</sup> experiments can be used to generate and study the chemical properties of reaction intermediates, such as oxenium cations. </p><p dir="ltr">The mass spectrometer and the ionization source used to perform the research discussed in this thesis are described in Chapter 2. After this, the development of experiments involving ion-molecule reactions accompanied by collision-activated dissociation in a linear quadrupole ion trap is discussed, with the goals of differentiating the aziridine functionality from structurally related functional groups, such as the amino group and identifying aromatic aldehyde functionalities in protonated oxygen-containing monofunctional analytes. The integration of machine learning with mass spectral data has become an increasingly prevalent and valuable way to interpret data faster and more accurately without human bias than conventional manual approaches. Chapter 5 discusses combining machine learning-guided automated HPLC analysis coupled with MS<sup>n</sup> experiments based on diagnostic ion-molecule reactions for the structural elucidation of unknown compounds.

Ce travail a pour motivation de fournir des données expérimentales importantes pour l'interprétation de la chimie des ionosphère planétaires, en particulier pour le plus grand satellite de Saturne, Titan. On s'intéresse spécifiquement à la réactivité des espèces ioniques excitées. Cette thèse porte, d'une part, sur des expériences de préparation des cations (CH3+ et CF3+) sélectionnés en énergie interne par photoionisation VUV d'espèces neutres, et d'autre part, sur des réactions de cations sélectionnés en énergie interne avec des molécules, O+ avec CH4 et N+(3P) avec C3H4, C3H6 et C3H8.L'étude de la préparation des cations CH3+ et CF3+ sélectionnés dans des niveaux vibrationnels a été réalisée par la technique de coïncidence TPEPICO et du rayonnement VUV synchrotron à SOLEIL. Un spectromètre de type PFI-ZEKE qui permet d'atteindre une résolution de 0.84 cm-1 a été construit pour la réalisation d'études complémentaires avec le rayonnement laser VUV du Centre Laser de l'Université Paris Sud (CLUPS), à Orsay en France.Les expériences pour la détermination de l'influence de l'excitation du cation O+ (2S,2D,2P) sur sa réactivité avec le méthane ont été réalisées par les techniques de coïncidence TPEPICO et de guides d'ions. Elles ont été réalisées sur la ligne de rayonnement VUV DESIRS du synchrotron SOLEIL. Les études pour déterminer la constante de vitesse et les rapports de branchement entre produits des réactions de N+(3P) avec C3H4, C3H6 et C3H8 ont été réalisées par l'utilisation de la technique SIFT sur un montage de type commercial de petite taille à l'Institut de Physico-Chimie J.

Here we have a particular interest in studying the reactivity of excited ionic species. The first part of this work concerns the production of CH3+ and CF3+ state selected cations by VUV photoionization of neutral species and the second part, the reactions of state selected cations with molecules: O+ with methane and N+(3P) with C3H4, C3H6 and C3H8.The study of the preparation of the CH3+ and CF3+ cations in selected vibrational levels was performed by using the TPEPICO coincidence technique and VUV radiation at the french synchrotron, SOLEIL. A PFI-ZEKE spectrometer, that allowed us to obtain a resolution down to 0.84 cm-1, was constructed to conduct additional studies involving laser VUV radiation at the Laser Center of the University Paris Sud XI, at Orsay in France.Experiments to determine the influence of the O+ (2S,2D,2P) cation excitation on its reaction with methane were performed using the TPEPICO coincidence and the guide ion beam technique. These experiments were performed on the VUV DESIRS beamline at the synchrotron SOLEIL. Rate constants and products branching ratio for the reacion of N+(3P) with C3H4, C3H6 and C3H8 were measured with the SIFT technique in a small commercial apparatus at the Institute of Physical Chemistry J. Heyrovský in Prague, Czech Republic. / Este trabalho tem como motivação fornecer dados experimentais importantes para a interpretação da química de ionosferas planetárias, em particular para o maior Satélite de Saturno, Titan.
