Outline • Basic Chemistry • Analytical Chemistry • Mass Spectrometry – Types of Ion Sources • EI, CI, ESI, APCI, APPI, MALDI – Types of MS • Ion Traps, Quads, FT-ICR, TOF, Sector • MS/MS • Performance Comparisons – Market Segments
Basic Chemistry • Everything is made of Atoms – Atoms are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons – Many atoms together make up molecules ATOM U
Carbon Nitrogen Oxygen Hydrogen
Carbon Atom 6 protons (+) 6 neutrons 6 electrons(-)
Carbon
More Carbon • 6 protons (1 mass unit each) + 6 neutrons (1 mass unit each) = 12 mass units – Electrons are negligible ( 1/3600 of mass unit) • Some carbon (about 1%) has 7 neutrons so weigh 13 units
12. 00 x 99%+13. 00 x 1% = 12. 01 amu
But how much does an atom weigh ? • It was found that 12 grams of carbon contains 6. 02 x 1023 atoms of carbon. ( 1023 seconds have not elapsed since the beginning of time !) • So one atom of carbon weighs 1. 99 x 10 -23 grams !

Caffeine C 8 H 10 N 4 O 2 Total Mass 194 Daltons 3. 22 x 10 -22 grams So we must devise a machine which can measure ~ 10 -22 grams.

3 Elements to Mass Spectrometry (J. J. Thomson ~ 1910) Gas Phase/ Ionize Separate Based on Mass/Charge Sample Why Ionize ? Difficult to manipulate neutral particles on molecular scale. If they are charged, then we can use electric fields to move them around. Detector
3 Elements to Mass Spectrometry (J. J. Thomson ~ 1910) Gas Phase/ Ionize Separate Based on Mass/Charge Sample • • • Electron Impact (EI) Chemical Ionization (CI) Electrospray (ESI) Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI) Photo-ionization (APPI) Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption and Ionization (MALDI) Detector

3 Elements to Mass Spectrometry (J. J. Thomson ~ 1856 -1940) Gas Phase/ Ionize Separate Based on Mass/Charge Sample So, we could come up with 6 x 5 x 4 = 120 Unique Mass Spectrometers. In reality, not all combinations make sense, but many extra “hybrid” MS systems have value. For example Q-TOF’s and LT-FT-ICR Detector
6 Types of Ion Sources
Ion Source Depends on Sample Solid Sample Liquid Sample Make into Solid ? Make into Solution ? APCI APPI Turn into Gas? Chemical Properties of analyte in gas phase ? Chemical Properties of analyte in solution phase ? MALDI Gas Sample ESI CI EI
Polarity, MW and Volatility
Polarity, MW and Volatility Caffeine
Gas Phase Ionization • EI and CI are gas phase ionization techniques • Sample is heated to cause volatilization • The molecule must have a low enough MW and polarity so that: TBoil< TDecomposition
Electron Impact e- e- e- M M(g) + e- M+(g) + 2 e. This reaction creates the molecular ion so is very useful. However, the excess energy from the electron cause the molecular ion to fall apart:
Neutral Molecule IP 2 Excess Energy get redistributed throughout ion to cause fragmentation. s 1 IP s 0 s 1 s 0 Ionized Molecule
Electron Impact e- e- e- M M(g) + e- M+(g) + 2 e. M+(g) A+Fragment 1 (g) + BFragment 2 (g) • Electron energy is chosen by compromise. • Fragment Information is useful. It can help structural determination. However, many ions produce only fragments with no molecular ion remaining. Molecular ion often very unstable. • 70 e. V “Classical Spectra” to be used for comparisons
MW 194
109 m/z
55 m/z
Chemical Ionization • EI is not appropriate for some molecules (it causes too much fragmentation) • Instead, ionize a reagent gas (by EI) then react it with a analyte molecules • Typically use methane or ammonia for reagent gas
CI: Form Reagent Ions First • For Example - Methane CI 1. electron ionization of CH 4: • CH 4 + e- CH 4+ + 2 e– Fragmentation forms CH 3+, CH 2+, CH+ 2. ion-molecule reactions create stable reagent ions: • • CH 4+ + CH 4 CH 3 + CH 5+ CH 3+ + CH 4 H 2 + C 2 H 5+ – CH 5+ and C 2 H 5+ are the dominant methane CI reagent ions
Methane CI Reagent Ions – Ions at m/z 17, 29, and 41 are from methane; • H 3 O+ is also formed from water vapor in the vacuum system
Reagent Ions React with Analytes • Several Types of Reactions May Occur – Form Pseudomolecular Ions (M+1) – CH 5+ + M CH 4 + MH+ – M+1 Ions Can Fragment Further to Produce a Complex CI Mass Spectrum – Form Adduct Ions – C 2 H 5+ + M [M + C 2 H 5]+ – C 3 H 5+ + M [M + C 3 H 5]+ M+29 Adduct M+41 Adduct – Molecular Ion by Charge Transfer – CH 4+ + M M+ + CH 4 – Hydride Abstraction (M-1) – C 3 H 5+ + M C 3 H 6 + [M-H]+ » Common for saturated hydrocarbons
EI Spectrum of Cocaine • Extensive Fragmentation • Molecular Ion is Weak at m/z 303
Methane CI of Cocaine Pseudo molecular Ion and Fragment Ions
Isobutane CI of Cocaine • Soft Reagent - Less Fragmentation
Polarity, MW and Volatility
Liquid Techniques • Depending on solvent composition and molecular properties either – APPI – ESI – APPI
APPI
APPI • Lamp Wavelength chosen to only excite analytes not solvent/background – Low amount of photo dissociation results • New technique with few novel applications • Less universal than electrospray
APCI Principles • Rapidly vaporize entire liquid flow • Ionize solvent molecules in corona discharge • CI process ionizes sample molecules • Positive mode: proton transfer or charge exchange • Negative mode: proton abstraction or electron capture
APCI – Cut Away View
What applications need APCI? • APCI works well for small molecules that are moderately polar to non-polar • APCI works well for samples that contain heteroatoms • Avoid samples that typically are charged in solution • Avoid samples that are very thermally unstable or photosensitive
Why Electrospray ? • Most Samples are delivered as liquids. – GC analysis requires heating sample to cause evaporation – Ionization occurs through electron impact or chemical reaction – Not all analytes are thermally stable • Electrospray was designed to provide a gentle method of creating gas phase ions
Taylor Cone Three Step Process 1) Droplet formation Electrospray process does not ionize samples ! 2) Droplet Shrinkage 3) Gaseous Ion Formation
• Solutions delivered to the tip of the electrospray capillary experience the electric field associated with the maintenance of a high potential. • Assuming a potential gradient, positive ions will accumulate at the surface. • Positively Charged Ions will “bud” off the surface when the applied electrostatic force is bigger than the surface tension.
Assisted Electrospray Low Voltage (0. 1 kv) Low Voltage (0. 5 kv) High Voltage (5 kv) MS LC Column Flow Drying Gas Nebulizing Gas
MALDI • • • Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Analyte co-deposited with Matrix Laser excites matrix which transfers energy to analyte Produces singly charged species Typically used for large biomolecules / polymers MALDI is a high mass/pulsed source so usually combined with TOF

Ion Traps, Transmission Quadrupoles and Linear Traps • Electrodynamic quadrupole fields – Paul (University of Bonn in 1953 – Nobel Prize 1989) • 3 D and 2 D traps • Created a “high resolution quad” that was 5. 82 m long ! • A quadrupole field is linearly dependant on the coordinate axis • Ions are confined or rejected based on Voltage, Frequency, Dimension, Mass and Charge
Ion Traps and Quads • Traps are Pulsed • Quads are Continuous • Both rely time varying electric fields (RF)

Ion Trap + Quadrupole Theory • Forces on ion are simple to understand • As always Where Fz = the force in the z direction e = charge on the particle m = mass of the particle a = acceleration Ez= electric field
Ion Motion in an Ion Trap • After several pages of math, we can derive an equation for ion motion as a function of time: • These second order differentials are not trivial to solve. • Mathieu Equation ! ( solved in 1868 , sub type of Hill’s equations) • Graphical Solution – (Slightly different for Traps and Quads because of symmetry. ) NEED SOLUTIONS WHICH ARE BOUND AND STABLE IN TIME

Ion trap Benefits üHigh sensitivity üMulti-stage mass spectrometry (analogous to FTICR experiments) üCompact mass analyzer üCheap and Easy to build Limitations • Poor quantitation • Poor inherent dynamic range • Subject to space charge effects and ion molecule reactions • Collision energy not well-defined in CID MS/MS • Many parameters (excitation, trapping, detection conditions) comprise the experiment sequence that defines the quality of the mass spectrum
Transmission Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer Benefits üClassical mass spectra üGood reproducibility üRelatively small and low-cost systems üPotentially good conversion efficiency for MS/MS Limitations • Limited resolution • Peak heights variable as a function of mass (mass discrimination). Peak height vs. mass response must be 'tuned'. • Not well suited for pulsed ionization methods • Low-energy collision-induced dissociation (CID) MS/MS spectra in triple quadrupole and hybrid mass spectrometers depend strongly on energy, collision gas, pressure, and other factors.
Linear Trap + Newest Generation MS • Many of the advantages of ion traps, without normal trap limitations. • Less Space Charge Problems • MSN • Great loading Efficiency =
MS/MS • In a transmission Quadrupole, MS/MS is done in Space – need three quads ( Triple Quad) • In an Ion trap MS/MS is done in time. Q 1 Pass only 195 Q 2 RF ONLY -Pass Everything -Collisions with Ar cause fragmentation Q 3 Scan from 100 -195 Look at daughter ions
Triple Quad vs. Ion Trap
Why MS/MS • Unknown Identification • Potentially two compounds of interest have the same mass ( and same retention time) • Quantitation improvements ( background signal reduced)
Problem: Thiabendazole in Grapefruit Extract • Antifungal agent, thiabendazole (TBZ) must be below 10 ppb in the processed grapefruit • Major matrix interferent: Similar retention time Similar spectrum Concentration much greater than TBZ Interferent
