ABSTRACT: | ||
This study reports the investigation of some unusual adduct ions of hydroxide and oxygen atoms in both negative-ion chemical ionization (NCI) and collisionally-activated dissociation (CAD) processes in an external-source ion trap mass spectrometer. The [M + OH] and [M + OH Cl] adduct ions in the NCI spectrum of 4,5-dichlorophthalic anhydride are attributed to an ion/molecule reaction due to the presence of trace amounts of water. The formation of the unusual [M + O Cl] ions during CAD of the M ions from 3,6- and 4,5-dichlorophthalic anhydride isomers is attributed to reactive collisions of the fragment ions with residual oxygen. | ||
Keywords: negative chemical ionization (NCI), ion trap mass spectrometer (ITMS), collisionally activated dissociation (CAD) |
