组氨酸钴氧合配合物二聚体形态的电喷雾串联质谱验证研究

电喷雾质谱(ESI-MS)是一种软电离质谱技术,已在配合物的结构和机理的研究中显示了重要的作用。本文根据组氨酸钴(CoL2)(L=组氨酸)对分子氧活性很高,极易生成双核氧合配合物(CoL2-O2-CoL2)的特点,采用ESI-MS方法研究了组氨酸钴氧合物(CoL2-O2-CoL2)和组氨酸配合物ML2(M=Cu、Zn)。结果发现,质谱图中在相应于双核氧合配合物的高质荷比端(m/z>ML2),CoL2出现质谱峰,而组氨酸配合物ML2(M=Cu、Zn)在质谱图中高质荷比端没有出现质谱峰,只有配合物ML2的相关峰;这个结果证明了文献报道中的双核氧合配合物(CoL2-O2-CoL2)的存在,根据所得质谱结果,初步研究了组氨酸钴双核氧合配合物和ML2配合物的裂解规律。结果表明,可根据质谱数据中有无二聚体形态,做出Co配合物有无吸氧性能的初步判断,因此电喷雾质谱(ESI-MS)可做为研究Co配合物氧合反应和表征Co氧合配合物的有效分析手段。

Assigning the ESI mass spectra of organometallic and coordination compounds

Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI‐MS) is a useful technique for solving organometallic and coordination chemistry characterization problems that are difficult to address using traditional methods. However, assigning the ESI mass spectra of such compounds can be challenging, and the considerations involved in doing so are quite different from assigning the mass spectra of purely organic samples. This is a tutorial article for organometallic/coordination chemists using ESI‐MS to analyze pure compounds or reaction mixtures. The fundamentals of assigning ESI mass spectra are discussed within the context of organometallic and coordination systems. The types of ions commonly observed by ESI‐MS are categorized and described. Finally, a step‐by‐step guide for the assignment of organometallic and coordination chemistry ESI mass spectra is provided along with two case studies.     

Liquid chromatography/negative ion atmospheric pressure photoionization mass spectrometry: a highly sensitive method for the analysis of organic explosives

Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is applied to the analysis of volatile and thermally stable compounds, while liquid chromatography/atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (LC/APCI‐MS) and liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC/ESI‐MS) are preferred for the analysis of compounds with solution acid‐base chemistry. Because organic explosives are compounds with low polarity and some of them are thermally labile, they have not been very well analyzed by GC/MS, LC/APCI‐MS and LC/ESI‐MS. Herein, we demonstrate liquid chromatography/negative ion atmospheric pressure photoionization mass spectrometry (LC/NI‐APPI‐MS) as a novel and highly sensitive method for their analysis. Using LC/NI‐APPI‐MS, limits of quantification (LOQs) of nitroaromatics and nitramines down to the middle pg range have been achieved in full MS scan mode, which are approximately one order to two orders magnitude lower than those previously reported using GC/MS or LC/APCI‐MS. The calibration dynamic ranges achieved by LC/NI‐APPI‐MS are also wider than those using GC/MS and LC/APCI‐MS. The reproducibility of LC/NI‐APPI‐MS is also very reliable, with the intraday and interday variabilities by coefficient of variation (CV) of 0.2–3.4% and 0.6–1.9% for 2,4,6‐trinitrotoluene (2,4,6‐TNT).

Practical approaches to the ESI‐MS analysis of catalytic reactions

Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI‐MS) is a soft ionization technique commonly coupled with liquid or gas chromatography for the identification of compounds in a one‐time view of a mixture (for example, the resulting mixture generated by a synthesis). Over the past decade, Scott McIndoe and his research group at the University of Victoria have developed various methodologies to enhance the ability of ESI‐MS to continuously monitor catalytic reactions as they proceed. The power, sensitivity and large dynamic range of ESI‐MS have allowed for the refinement of several homogenous catalytic mechanisms and could potentially be applied to a wide range of reactions (catalytic or otherwise) for the determination of their mechanistic pathways. In this special feature article, some of the key challenges encountered and the adaptations employed to counter them are briefly reviewed. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Applications of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry to neutral organic molecules including fullerenes

The use of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI/MS) for the detection of neutral organic molecules becomes possible by their derivation with specific ESI/MS tagging reagents that have either proton or metal ion binding sites. We used the neutral crown ether group in several reagents to attach a metal binding site to substrate molecules. Application of this method to steroids, amino acids, vitamin D, fatty acids, and fullerenes is described. Besides characterization, tagged molecules can be used for studying organic reactions by ESI/MS. This work demonstrates that ESI/MS provides a unique window on fullerene solution chemistry. ESI/MS is not only an excellent tool for the analysis of biopolymers but is also useful for studying the organic chemistry of small neutral molecules.     

Analysis of sugar epimers using mass spectrometry: N-acetyllactosamine-6,6'-disulfate and the 2'-epimer

Galbeta1-4GlcNAc-6,6'-disulfate and 2'-epimer corresponding to Galbeta1- 4ManNAc-6,6'-disulfate were distinguished by mass spectrometry by utilizing fast atom bombardment (FAB), electrospray ionization (ESI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) methods. As for the steric information, negative-ion ESI mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (MS/MS) provides the most extensive data, but FAB MS/MS also reveals detailed structural information of interest in our case, where MALDI MS is not yet fully equipped with post-source decay.     

Study of active naphtodianthrone St John's Wort compounds by electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance and multi‐stage mass spectrometry in sustained off‐resonance irradiation collision‐induced dissociation and infrared multiphoton dissociation modes

Five well‐known active naphtodianthrone constituents of Hypericum perforatum (St John's Wort) extracts have been investigated by electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (ESI‐FTICRMS) and ESI‐FTICRMSⁿ. The studied compounds were hypericin, pseudohypericin, protohypericin, protopseudohypericin (biosynthetic precursors of the two former compounds, respectively) and isopseudohypericin (alkaline degradation product of pseudohypericin). Dissociation mass spectrometry measurements performed on the [M–H]^? ion presented a variable efficiency as a function of the used activation mode. Sustained off‐resonance irradiation collision‐induced dissociation (SORI–CID) only led to a restricted number of fragment ions. In contrast, IRMPD ensured the detection of numerous product ions. Ions detected in ESI‐FTICRMS and ESI‐FTICRMSⁿ experiments were measured with a very high mass accuracy (typically mass error is lower than 0.5 mDa at m/z close to 500) that allowed unambiguous formulae to be assigned to each signal observed in a mass spectrum. In spite of similar structures, specific fragmentation patterns were observed for the different compounds investigated. This study may be useful in the future to characterize in natural extracts these compounds (or derivatives of these compounds) by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) experiments by considering the MS/MS transitions highlighted in this paper.

Mass-spectrometric studies of new 6-nitroquipazines—serotonin transporter inhibitors

Six synthesized 6-nitroquipazine derivatives were examined by electron ionization (EI) and electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry in positive and negative ion mode. The compounds exhibit high affinity for the serotonin transporter (SERT) and belong to a new class of SERT inhibitors. The EI mass spectra registered in negative ion mode showed prominent molecular ions for all the compounds studied. All EI mass spectra and all ESI mass spectra showed similar fragmentation pathways of molecular ions, but the pathways differed between EI and ESI. The differences were explained with the aid of theoretical evaluation of the stability of the respective radical ions (EI MS) and protonated ions (ESI MS).     

High resolution electrospray and electrospray tandem mass spectra of rotenone and its isoxazoline cycloadducts

An evaluation of the gas-phase ion chemistry of rotenone (1) by electrospray ionisation (ESI) mass spectrometry (MS) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS2) is presented, aiming at providing tools for its determination in natural and biological matrices. The behaviour of its cycloadducts with benzonitrile-N-oxide (2) and 2,4,6-trimethylbenzonitrile-N-oxide (3) was also evaluated and the MS data thus obtained have provided evidence into the mechanism of formation of the key product ion at m/z 192 which can be considered a marker in the MS and MS2 spectra of rotenone and its derivatives.     

Direct characterization of iodine covalently bound to fulvic acids by electrospray mass spectrometry.

Numerous studies have demonstrated that humic substances (HS) react with iodine to form iodo derivatives and thereby can control the bioavailability of radioisotopes. Unfortunately, none of these studies have provided detailed insights into product compounds and so far, to our knowledge, the direct analysis of these species by electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry has not been explored. The reactivity of iodine with fulvic acids (FA) present in HS was investigated by means of ESI coupled with a quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) mass spectrometer. ESI spectra of solutions, that were indicated by MS/MS analysis to have formed iodinated species, apparently displayed singly charged ions corresponding in m/z to hypothesized species, viz., [RI - H](-), R = (substituted FA compound). MS/MS analysis based on the diagnostic fragment ions for FA compounds and their iodo derivatives suggests that FA undergo aromatic substitutions. Furthermore, significant differences in mass profiles are observed that presumably result from extended redox reactions. The ESI-MS technique opens up new opportunities to understand the scavenging properties of HS towards radionuclides and heavy metals for environmental studies.
