Heterogeneous Atmospheric Chemistry

The application of fast-atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectrometry to solving the problems of heterogeneous atmospheric chemistry is briefly reviewed. The method is useful in studying the state of surfaces and molecules adsorbed thereon and looks appropriate in investigations of the dynamics and mechanisms of chemical reactions occurring both on a surface and in a volume of moving particulate matter suspended in a gas. It was shown that composition of atmospheric aerosols and components dissolved in atmospheric water (clouds, fogs, mists etc.) can be determined by the FAB technique. The given method, as was found in our investigations, allows the discrimination of ferrous and ferric ions. Detection limits for concentrations of H2SO4 and Fe(II / III) ions as essential components of atmospheric water determined in model experiments are established at the level of 10−6 M.

Complexation Reactions

The complexation reactions of aluminum ions with polydentate ligands such as 12-crown-4,15-crown-5,18-crown-6, 1,10-dithia-18-crown-6, dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6, dibenzo-18-crown-6, and dibenzo-24-crown-8 and acyclic analogs mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, and hexaethylene glycols were studied using FAB mass spectrometry. These cyclic ligands form (M + 117)+, (M + 157)+, (M + 231)+, and (M + 253)+ ions with different aluminum-containing species. Collisionally activated dissociations of these adduct ions gave fragment ions, initially due to the loss of ligands directly attached to aluminum, followed by insertion of aluminum into the remaining ligand skeleton. Further fragmentation of the metal-containing species gave ions corresponding to consecutive losses of C2H4O units. Fragmentations of deuterium-labelled ions were used to help in establishing fragmentation pathways. Selectivity towards metal chelation is observed in this order: 12-crown-4 < 15-crown-5 < 18-crown-6. The elemental compositions of adduct ions were confirmed by high-resolution measurements. The formation of (M + Al − 2H)+ ion, obtained by the displacement of two hydroxy protons, is more favored for tetra- and pentaethylene glycols. Key words: crown ethers, polyethylene glycols, aluminum(III)–glycerol, ionic complexes and ion dissociations.

Abstract In the Fast Atom Bombardment (FAB) mass spectra of monomeric and dimeric corrinoids, exchange of metal-bound ligands against matrix particles is observed which leads to pseudo molecular ions. Negative ion FAB mass spectra in particular, give distinct information on the intact molecular units.

Fab Mass Spectrometry

Substituted benzoic and cinnamic acids were studied by FAB mass spectrometry using matrix-based Al(III) ions. Complex ions derived from these acids, such as ( M + 117 )+ ( 117 = (Al + glycerol − 2H)+ ), ( M + 159 )+ ( 159 = [2Al + 2glycerol − 5H − 74(epoxypropanol)]+), and ( M + 233)+ ( 233 = (2Al + 2glycerol − 5H)+), when subjected to collisionally activated dissociation (CAD), gave an ion corresponding to ( M − OH)+. Formation of this ion was explained by the transfer of the carboxylic -OH group to the ( Al + glycerol − 2H)+, ( 2Al + 2glycerol − 5H − 74 )+, and ( 2Al + 2glycerol − 5H )+ portion of the complexes. This transfer is more pronounced in the case of meta- and para-substituted acids. The CAD of the ( M + 117 )+ ions yielded ( M + Al(III) )+ ions resulting from the insertion of Al(III) into the carboxylic acid, which was followed by the elimination of CO to produce ( M + Al(III) − CO)+ ions. Interpretation of spectral data was clarified by study of the formation and fragmentation of ions produced from deuterated benzoic and cinnamic acids. Keywords: substituted benzoic and trans-cinnamic acids, Al(III)–glycerol, FAB mass spectrometry, ionic metal complexes, collisionally induced dissociation, Al(III) insertion, carbonyl cations.

Carboxyglutamic Acid

DL-γ-Carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) reacts easily and quantitatively with aldehydes to give the racemic diastereoisomers of 5-substituted-4,4-dicarboxyprolines. After heating at 100 °C for 30 minutes these amino acids lose a carboxyl group from C-γ of Gla and C-4 of the proline ring to give glutamic acid and the racemic diastereoisomers of cyclic analogs of glutamic acid respectively. This paper reports a study of the above-mentioned compounds by using FAB mass spectrometry in comparison with CI analysis. FAB turned out to be an adequate ionization technique for dealing with such nonvolatile and thermolabile amino acids, and may thus allow the development of a rapid and sensitive method for detecting γ-carboxyglutamic acid in urine and in other biological matrices in pathological cases (i.e., renal stones and blood serum).
