Milhares de marcadores polares são resolvidos e identificados em questão de 6 ~ 7 minutos com muita agilidade e confiabilidade. A técnica produz, porém, uma enormidade de dados que precisam ser tratados com eficiência, através de um software que combine estratégias eficientes de programação e inteligência química no processamento e visualização. Neste trabalho, toda uma estratégia já aprovada em testes preliminares foi desenvolvida com esta finalidade. Esta estratégia levou a atribuição da composição elementar inequívoca para todos os sinais adquiridos. As etapas envolveram: a atribuição da m/z para cada sinal do espectro, a atribuição do limiar ótimo de intensidade para o ruído de cada espectro individualmente, a construção de um banco de dados teórico de correlação massa e fórmula molecular para os possíveis constituintes polares do petróleo, a atribuição da composição elementar para cada sinal através da comparação com este banco teórico, a eliminação de duplicidade de atribuições através da confirmação do padrão isotópico e comparação com séries homólogas, a organização dos dados por classes (heteroátomos) e tipo (Double bond equivalent - DBE) e a construção de bibliotecas gráficas para a visualização e interpretação das atribuições (Diagramas de Kendrick e van Krevelen). A combinação destes algoritmos e a execução automática deles formam o software de altíssima eficiência e alta tecnologia para tratamento e visualização de dados de petroleômica por FT- ICR MS. Este software foi e está sendo utilizado pelo grupo de pesquisa como ferramenta para diferentes linhas de pesquisa em petroleômica por FT-ICR MS aplicada a petróleo e seus derivados, entre elas: a) acompanhamento do processo de eliminação de compostos polares de diesel através de hidrotratamento e oxitratamento, b) atribuição e detalhamento de ácidos naftênicos presentes no petróleo, a sua correlação com índice de corrosão associado, c) o acompanhamento rápido para processos visando sua remoção e d) análises de frações de asfaltenos e a identificação de contaminantes / Abstract: Crude oil samples and their derivatives can be characterized with ultra high speed and efficiency through the technique called petroleomics by Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT ICR-MS). Thousands of polar markers are resolved and identified in ~ 6-7 minutes with great reliability and agility. This technique provides a large amount of data that requires efficient procedures for data processing. This may be achieved with software that combines efficient programming strategies and chemical intelligence in processing and graphical displays. In this work, all strategies already approved by preliminary data were applied with this goal. Through these strategies all unequivocal elementary compositions were achieved for all resolved signals in the spectra. The steps performed were: attribution of m/z value for each signal; attribution of the best intensity threshold for noise for each individual spectrum; theoretical data base elaboration with mass and molecular formula for all possible polar compounds present in petroleum; elemental composition assignments for each signal through data base comparison; duplicated assignment elimination by isotopic pattern confirmation and homologous series comparison; data organization by heteroatom classes and type (DBE); and graphical library elaboration needed to assist assignment interpretation (Kendrick and van Krevelen Diagrams). The combination of all these algorithms with automatic execution establishes highly efficient software and highly technological petroleomics data processing by FT- ICR MS. This software is being used by our research group as a study tool in different research areas and for different goals, specifically in Petroleomics by FT-ICR MS applied to crude oil and its derivatives. Some of them are (a) monitoring polar compound removal from diesel by hydro and oxy treatments, (b) detailed naphthenic acid assignment, and monitoring of their correlation with and (c) their removal processes and (d) identification of asphaltene fraction and identification of contaminants / Doutorado / Quimica Organica / Doutor em Ciências

Positive-ion electrospray ionisation Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance and ion trap mass spectrometry have been used to investigate the reactions of the flavonoids 3-hydroxyflavone, 5-hydroxyflavone, 5-methoxyflavoe, quercetin, quercitrin and rutin with monovalent Li+, Na+, K+ and Cs+, divalent Cu2+, Zn2+ and Pb2+ and trivalent La3+ and Eu3+ metal cations. The effect of capillary-skimmer potential difference and the ion residence time in the hexapole ion trap of the Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer are systematically investigated for the flavonoid-alkali and divalent metal ion experiment. It is observed that these variables impact significantly on the type of ions observed in the ESI experiments and hence the mass spectra. The binding selectivity of alkali metal ions towards 3-hydroxyflavone, 5-hydroxyflavone and 5-methoxyflavone are determined using the results from FTICR mass spectrometry experiments. The selectivity order follows the order Li+>Na+>K+ for individual flavonoids. Collision-induced dissociation experiments are carried out by Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance and ion trap mass spectrometry to compare the fragmentation behaviour of metal-flavonoid complexes. Low energy collision-induced dissociation experiments of the [2L+M]+ for 3-hydroxyflavone, 5-hydroxyflavone and 5-methoxyflavone alkali metal complexes show the loss of ligand only. When the energy is increased only the lithiated dimer [2L+Li]+ for 5-methoxyflavone shows the loss of methyl radical along with the ligand. For quercitrin the predominant dissociation pathways are the loss of rhamnose for Li+, Na+ and K+ complexes although aglycone loss is also observed for the K+ complex. The favourable dissociation pathways for rutin are the loss of disaccharide, aglycone and rhamnose for the Na+ complex and the loss of disaccharide for the K+ complex. Collision-induced dissociation data are also used to determine the threshold dissociation energies for displacement of one flavonoid ligand from alkali metal flavonoid complexes. The threshold dissociation energies for loss of one ligand from [2L+M]+ of 5-methoxyflavone and quercitrin follow the order Li+ > Na+ > K+, rutin follows the order Na+ > K+ > Li+ , and 3-hydroxyflavone and 5-hydroxyflavone follow the order Li+ > Na+. For the same metal cation experiment, 5-methoxyflavone system has the highest dissociation energy compared to the 3-hydroxyflavone and 5-hydroxyflavone experiment. Preliminary DFT calculations show that the calculated dissociation energies follow the same trend as the experimental dissociation energies for the simple flavonoid alkali metal cation experiments. For 5-methoxyflavone-divalent metal cation (Zn2+, Cu2+ and Pb2+) complexes loss of methyl radical is the common process. CO loss is also observed for the Zn2+ complex whereas CHO and H2O losses are observed for Cu2+. For 3-hydroxyflavone and 5-hydroxyflavone divalent metal cation experiments loss of ligand is the dominant process. Zn2+ and Cu2+ complexes also show CO loss. La3+ and Er3+ with the same flavonoids show the ligand as the dominant product. For quercetin-divalent metal cation experiment, ligand loss is the dominant process. For quercitrin and rutin various dissociation products are observed where the dissociation occurs via the loss of the rhamnose and/or the disaccharide moieties. Similar dissociation patterns are also observed for La3+ and Er3+ complexes for quercitrin and rutin.
