In the lucky survivor model, positive ions can be formed from highly charged clusters produced during break-up of the matrix- and analyte-containing solid. The lucky survivor model (cluster ionization mechanism [2]) postulates that analyte molecules are incorporated in the matrix maintaining the charge state from solution.
The stream of protonated water clusters acts as a secondary ionizing species [10] and generates analytes ions by chemical ionization mechanisms at atmospheric pressure. [11] Here protonation, deprotonation, direct charge transfer and adduct ion formation may occur. [1] [7]
Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) is an analytical chemistry technique that combines the physical separation capabilities of liquid chromatography (or HPLC) with the mass analysis capabilities of mass spectrometry (MS). Coupled chromatography – MS systems are popular in chemical analysis because the individual capabilities ...
Scheme of a Direct-EI, LC-MS interface. A direct electron ionization liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry interface (Direct-EI LC-MS interface) is a technique for coupling liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry based on the direct introduction of the liquid effluent into an electron ionization (EI) source. [1]
The evaporated mobile phase of LC acts as the ionization gas and reactant ions. If water is the only solvent in the evaporated mobile phase, the excited nitrogen molecular ions N 4 +* would react with H 2 O molecules to produce water cluster ions H + (H 2 O) n. [10] Then, analyte molecules M are protonated by the water cluster ions.
Because it is commonly recrystallized from chloroform, the complex is often supplied as the adduct [Pd 2 (dba) 3 ·CHCl 3]. [1] The purity of samples can be variable. [3] In [Pd 2 (dba) 3], the pair of Pd atoms are separated by 320 pm but are tied together by dba units. [4] The Pd(0) centres are bound to the alkene parts of the dba ligands.
An example total ion current chromatogram from an LC-MS analysis. The total ion current chromatogram (TICC) represents the summed intensity across the entire range of masses being detected at every point in the analysis. [2] [3] The range is typically several hundred mass-to-charge units or more. In complex samples, the TICC often provides ...
Ion suppression in LC-MS and LC-MS/MS refers to reduced detector response, or signal:noise as a manifested effect of competition for ionisation efficiency in the ionisation source, between the analyte(s) of interest and other endogenous or exogenous (e.g. plasticisers extracted from plastic tubes, [1] mobile phase additives) species which have not been removed from the sample matrix during ...
