Mass Spectrometry
What insights are we hoping to gain?
• Molecular Mass/Isotopic Distribution
• Molecular Formula
• Some Structural Characteristics – Fragmentation Pattern
Only molecules of the correct m/z (mass/charge) will make it to the detector.
EI-MS of 2,2-Dimethyl Pentane
EI-MS of 2,2-Dimethyl PentaneMolecular ("parent")
ion
Fragment ("daughter") ions
Base peak (largest signal)
Peaks with smaller m/z values __ called fragment ion peaks __
represent positively charged fragments of the parent molecule
