Recent studies in the application of computerized techniques to mass spectral interpretation have been reviewed. The techniques have been divided into library search, pattern recognition, and interpretive methods. The more common methods in use in each category, as well as the more recent methods, are discussed. Earlier review articles are referenced for a more comprehensive treatment of earlier methods. The status of the large libraries of electron impact mass spectra is discussed and a number of attempts at improving the quality of those libraries are detailed.

Abstract Gas chromatographic and mass spectrometric properties of ametryn and its N-dealkylated products were studied to establish the potential use in a recently reported method describing the residue analyses of these compounds by gas chromatography with N-P detection. Electron impact mass spectra show base peaks at the molecular ion (M+), and methane chemical ionization mass spectra give base peaks at (M + 1) ion for all the compounds studied. Characteristic mass spectral fragmentations of ametryn, GS-11354, GS-11355, and GS-26831 are presented. Combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry rather than gas chromatography alone provides unambiguous residue characterization. The technique also allows quantitation of ametryn and its N-dealkylated products that cochromatograph with interfering materials present in a complex substrate.

The progressive replacement by sulphur in the isostructural planar nickel compounds bis(2,2,6,6- tetramethylheptane-3,5-dionato)nickel(11) (1), bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-5-thioxoheptan-3-onato)nickel(11) (2) and bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethylheptane-3,5-dithionato)nickel(11) (3) causes a change in their positive electron impact mass spectra from one dominated by metal-containing fragment ions (1) to one But 1 dominated by oxidized ligands (3). Comparisons are also made with the spectra of tris(monothio-dipivaloylmethanato)cobalt(111) and bis(1,l,1-trifluoro-4-thioxopentan-2-onato)nickel (11). Mass spectral peaks corresponding to mixed ligand species were observed when mixtures of (1) and (2) were vaporized in the mass spectrometer.

A new ultra fast electron impact (El) ion source is pre­sented that produces a very short, high intensity electron beam, allowing medium resolution mass spectra to be re­corded without pulsing the ion accelerating voltages in a time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF-MS). The ion source requires minimum modification of any TOF-MS equipped with an electrostatic ion reflector and UV-laser. El-spectra are presented for comparison with literature spectra.

Recent studies on the mammalian and fungal metabolism of the mycotoxin zearalenone (ZEN) have disclosed the formation of six regioisomers of monohydroxy-ZEN and its reductive metabolite zearalenol (ZEL). Hydroxylation occurs at the aromatic ring or at one of four positions of the aliphatic macrocycle. In addition, an aliphatic ZEN epoxide, its hydrolysis product, and other products were identified in fungal cultures. In this paper, we report the product ion spectra of the [M-H]− ions of 22 oxidative metabolites of ZEN and ZEL, obtained by LC-MS2 analysis using a linear ion trap mass spectrometer with negative electrospray ionization. The MS2 spectra exhibit qualitative and quantitative differences which allow a clear distinction of most metabolites. Moreover, GC-MS analysis of the trimethylsilylated metabolites yields electron impact mass spectra with numerous fragment ions which can be used as fingerprint to confirm the chemical structure derived by LC-MS2 analysis.
