溶液中卤素离子的垂直电离能

本文主要分为三部分:第一部分主要介绍了当前溶剂效应理论及其计算方法,以及溶液中卤素负离子体系光致离子化现象的研究现状;第二部分在前期工作基础上简单介绍约束平衡态理论的基本思想,并推导了溶液中光致离子化过程光谱移动和垂直离子化能计算的点电荷单球孔穴模型的计算公式;第三部分是将新的能量公式应用于卤素负离子体系的光谱移动和垂直离子化能的研究,并与传统的非平衡溶剂化理论及实验结果进行比较.Marcus的传统方法和我们过去的处理,都希望通过直接积分平衡和非平衡态之间所需做的功或者能量变化来直接推导非平衡态的静电自由能.但不论对于Marcus采用的积分功公式,还是我们采用的Jackson积分公式,其共同的特点都是只能用于处理平衡态之间的能量变化.因此,对于非平衡溶剂化态,本文采用Leontovich的热力学约束平衡态的方法处理非平衡态,其核心思想是任何一个热力学非平衡态都可以通过外加场的方法达到相应的热力学约束平衡态.在连续介质模型下,若采用电场强度E和电极化P描述溶质溶剂体系的静电状态,在光致离子化过程中,溶液中的溶剂和溶质会经历这样三个不同的状态:通过外加电场exE使非平衡态达到约束平衡态non non2ex2[E+E,P],而约束平衡态和非平衡态之间的能量差可以通过在保持溶剂极化不变条件下,迅速移走约束外场所需做的功计算.最终,根据约束平衡态理论,可以得到非平衡态的溶剂化能的表达式为:在单球孔穴点电荷模型下,其形式为相应的光谱移动和垂直离子化能公式为:本文采用卤素负离子体系作为算例.首先,根据Cl?的真空离子化能计算结果,选择CCSD-t/aug-cc-pvqz来计算所有体系的真空离子化能,对于I离子体系选择基组为DGDZVP.理论计算得到了与实验值吻合很好的卤素单原子和双原子分子离子的真空离子化能,计算结果显示卤素单原子离子的真空离子化能随半径的增加而减小且都高于3.0eV,而分子离子则随半径的增加而增大但均低于2.6eV.分别采用传统理论和本文推导的表达式计算卤素负离子体系在水溶液中的光谱移动和垂直离子化能,其中球孔穴半径选取离子半径.结果表明,我们计算得到的结果与光电子发射能谱观测的实验数据吻合很好,而传统非平衡溶剂化理论得到的结果则明显高于实验观测数据.而且,我们理论计算得到的CTTS光谱的值与实验测定的CTTS光谱值也相当接近,表明我们的公式在估算卤素负离子体系的光谱移动和垂直离子化能方面比传统非平衡理论更准确;另外卤素单原子离子和双原子分子离子的真空垂直离子化能随溶质半径的增加呈相反变化趋势,但是由于溶剂效应的影响,其在溶液中的垂直离子化能随半径的增大的变化趋势相同.

卟啉-酞菁分子内能量传递和电子转移的溶剂效应

用稳态荧光光谱研究了以氧原子和哌嗪作为连接基的卟啉酞菁二元分子在不同溶剂中的分子内能量传递和电子转移过程结果表明;分子内的能量传递和电子转移是两个相互竞争的过程，在非极性溶剂中，激发单重态的能量传递是主要过程，而在极性溶剂中则以电子转移为主运用Rehm-Weller公式计算了两种二元化合物在不同溶剂中的电子转移反应的自由能变化△G0ET，表明溶剂的极性对电子转移反应的自由能变化△G0ET影响很大极性越大;体系中的电子转移反应的△G0ET、越负，电子转移反应越易进行由于电子转移过程较能量传递过程进行得快，所以表现为体系中能量传递效率降低而电子转移效率增大。两种二元化合物的能量传递效率（φEnT）利和电子转移效率（φET）随溶剂的极性的变化具有相同的变化趋势

MALDI-TOF MS as a label-free approach to rapid inhibitor screening

Mass Spectrometry (MS) has been widely reported for measuring the conversion of substrates to products for enzyme assays. These measurements are typically performed by time-consuming LC-MS to eliminate buffer salts that interfere with electrospray ionization MS. However, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization, time-of-flight MS (MALDI-TOF MS) offers a label-free and direct readout of substrate and product, a fast sampling rate, and is tolerant of many buffer salts, reagents, and compounds that are typically found in enzyme reaction mixtures. In this report, a demonstration of how MALDI-TOF MS can be used to directly measure ratios of substrates and products to produce IC(50) curves for rapid enzyme assays and compound screening is provided. Typical reproducibility parameters were <7% RSD-a value comparable to ESI MS quantitative assays and well within the acceptable limits for screening assays. The speed of the MALDI readout is currently about 10 s per sample, thus allowing for over 7500 samples/day. From a simplicity standpoint, the enzymatic reaction mixtures are prepared by liquid handling robots, the reactions are stopped by addition of a 10 times volume of acidic matrix solution, and the samples are simultaneously transferred to MALDI target plate for analysis. Importantly, the ratios of substrate to product are of sufficient reproducibility to eliminate the need for internal standards and, thus, minimize the cost and increasing the speed of assay development.     

False‐positive liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometric confirmation of sebuthylazine residues using the identification points system according to EU directive 2002/657/EC due to a biogenic insecticide in tarragon

In pesticide residue analysis using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) the confirmation of a sebuthylazine finding in a tarragon (Artemisia dranunculus) sample was demonstrated to be false positive. A coeluting interfering matrix compound produced product ions in MS/MS analysis, perfectly corresponding to the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) of two sebuthylazine transitions. Using the EU directive 2002/657/EC which regulates the confirmation of suspected positive findings would have resulted in a false‐positive finding. A third LC/MS/MS transition with a deviant ion ratio and a gas chromatography (GC)/MS/MS analysis revealed the false‐positive results. With optimized high resolving ultra‐performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) conditions it was possible to separate spiked sebuthylazine from the interfering matrix compound. Using its exact mass and isotope ratios from LC/time‐of‐flight (TOF) MS measurements, the compound was identified as nepellitorine, a – not surprising – endogenous alkamide in tarragon (Arthemisia dranunculus). False‐positive results, especially in heavy matrix samples such as herbs, can be dealt with by further confirmatory analysis, e.g. a third transition, GC analysis if possible or more advantageous by an orthogonal criterion like exact mass.

Identification and quantitation of cis-ketoconazole impurity by capillary zone electrophoresis-mass spectrometry

trans-Ketoconazole was identified and quantified as impurity of cis-ketoconazole, an antifungal compound, by capillary zone electrophoresis-electrospray-mass spectrometry (CZE-ESI-MS). The chirality of this impurity was demonstrated separating their enantiomers by adding heptakis-(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-beta-cyclodextrin to the separation buffer in capillary electrophoresis (CE) with UV detection. However, MS detection was hyphenated to the CE instrument for its identification. As both compounds are diastereomers, they have the same m/z values and are needed to be separated prior to the MS identification. A 0.4M ammonium formate separation buffer at pH 3.0 enabled the separation of the impurity from cis-ketoconazole. Under these conditions, the optimization of ESI-MS parameters (composition and flow of the sheath-liquid, drying temperature, drying gas flow, and capillary potential) was carried out to obtain the best MS sensitivity. CZE-ESI-MS optimized conditions enabled the identification of trans-ketoconazole as impurity of cis-ketoconazole. In addition, the quantitation of this impurity was achieved in different samples: cis-ketoconazole standard and three different pharmaceutical formulations (two tablets and one syrup) containing this standard. In all cases, percentages higher than 2.0 were determined for the impurity. According to ICH guidelines, these values required the identification and quantitation of any impurity in drug substances and products.     

Evaluation of agarose gel electrophoresis for characterization of silver nanoparticles in industrial products

Agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE) has been used extensively for characterization of pure nanomaterials or mixtures of pure nanomaterials. We have evaluated the use of AGE for characterization of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) in an industrial product (described as strong antiseptic). Influence of different stabilizing agents (PEG, SDS, and sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate), buffers (TBE and Tris Glycine), and functionalizing agents (mercaptosuccinic acid (TMA) and proteins) has been investigated for the characterization of AgNPs in the industrial product using different sizes‐AgNPs standards. The use of 1% SDS, 0.1% TMA, and Tris Glycine in gel, electrophoresis buffer and loading buffer led to the different sizes‐AgNPs standards moved according to their size/charge ratio (obtaining a linear relationship between apparent mobility and mean diameter). After using SDS and TMA, the behavior of the AgNPs in the industrial product (containing a casein matrix) was completely different, being not possible their size characterization. However we demonstrated that AGE with LA‐ICP‐MS detection is an alternative method to confirm the protein corona formation between the industrial product and two proteins (BSA and transferrin) maintaining NPs‐protein binding (what is not possible using SDS‐PAGE).     

Investigation of matrix effects in bioanalytical high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometric assays: application to drug discovery

A series of studies was performed to investigate some of the causes for matrix effects ('ion suppression' or 'ion enhancement') in bioanalytical high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS) assays. Previous studies have reported that matrix effects are mainly due to endogenous components in biological fluids and are a greater concern for electrospray ionization (ESI) than for atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI). In this report we demonstrate that: (1) matrix effects can also be caused by exogenous materials, such as polymers contained in different brands of plastic tubes, or Li-heparin, a commonly used anticoagulant; (2) matrix effects are not only ionization mode (APCI or ESI) dependent, but also source design (Sciex, Finnigan, Micromass) dependent; and (3) for at least one vendor's design, we found the APCI mode to be more sensitive to matrix effects than the ESI mode. Based on these findings, we have proposed the following simple strategies to avoid matrix effects: (1) select the same brand of plastic tubes for processing and storing plasma samples and spiked plasma standards; (2) avoid using Li-heparin as the anticoagulant; and (3) try switching the ionization mode or switching to different mass spectrometers when matrix effects are encountered. These three strategies have allowed us to use protein precipitation and generic fast LC techniques to generate reliable LC/MS/MS data for the support of pharmacokinetic studies at the early drug discovery stage.     

Comprehensive comparison of liquid chromatography selectivity as provided by two types of liquid chromatography detectors (high resolution mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry): “Where is the crossover point?”

The selectivity of mass traces obtained by monitoring liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) and liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was compared. A number of blank extracts (fish, pork kidney, pork liver and honey) were separated by ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC). Detected were some 100 dummy transitions respectively dummy exact masses (traces). These dummy masses were the product of a random generator. The range of the permitted masses corresponded to those which are typical for analytes (e.g. veterinary drugs). The large number of monitored dummy traces ensured that endogenous compounds present in the matrix extract, produced a significant number of detectable chromatographic peaks. All obtained chromatographic peaks were integrated and standardized. Standardisation was done by dividing these absolute peak areas by the average response of a set of 7 different veterinary drugs. This permitted a direct comparison between the LC-HRMS and LC-MS/MS data. The data indicated that the selectivity of LC-HRMS exceeds LC-MS/MS, if high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) data is recorded with a resolution of 50,000 full width at half maximum (FWHM) and a corresponding mass window. This conclusion was further supported by experimental data (MS/MS based trace analysis), where a false positive finding was observed. An endogenous matrix compound present in honey matrix behaved like a banned nitroimidazole drug. This included identical retention time and two MRM traces, producing an MRM ratio between them, which perfectly matched the ratio observed in the external standard. HRMS measurement clearly resolved the interfering matrix compound and unmasked the false positive MS/MS finding.     

Multi-class confirmatory method for analyzing trace levels of tetracyline and quinolone antibiotics in pig tissues by ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry

An ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC/MS/MS) method was developed to screen and confirm multi-class veterinary drug residues in pig tissues including pig kidney, liver and meat. Twenty-one drugs of two different classes including seven tetracyclines and four types of quinolones (quinoline, naphthyridine, pyridopyrimidine and cinoline) were determined simultaneously in a single run. The homogenized sample tissues were extracted with EDTA-McIlvaine buffer solution and further purified using a polymer-based Oasis HLB solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridge. An ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 column was used to separate the analytes followed by tandem mass spectrometry using an electrospray ionization source. MS data acquisition was performed in the positive ion multiple reaction monitoring mode, selecting two ion transitions for each target compound. Recovery studies were performed at different fortification levels. The overall average recoveries from pig muscle, kidney, and liver fortified with quinolones and tetracyclines at three levels ranged from 80.2 to 117.8% based on the use of matrix-fortified calibration with the coefficients of variation ranging from 2.1 to 17.8% (n=6). The limits of quantitation (LOQs) of quinolones and tetracyclines in different tissues ranged from 0.03-4.50 microg/kg and 0.16-10.00 microg/kg, respectively. The effects of the extraction solvent, SPE cartridge, elution solvent and sample matrix on the analyte recovery as well as the effects of the mobile phase composition and column temperature on the chromatographic behavior were also studied.     

Multi‐mycotoxin analysis in complex biological matrices using LC‐ESI/MS: Experimental study using triple stage quadrupole and LTQ‐Orbitrap

In the present study, we report the application of LC‐MS based on two different LC‐MS systems to mycotoxin analysis. The mycotoxins were extracted with an ACN/water/acetic acid mixture and directly injected into a LC‐MS/MS system without any dilution procedure. First, a sensitive and reliable HPLC‐ESI‐MS/MS method using selected reaction monitoring on a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (TSQ Quantum Ultra AM) has been developed for determining 32 mycotoxins in crude extracts of wheat and maize. This method was operated both in positive and in negative ionization modes in two separate chromatographic runs. The method was validated by studies of spiked recoveries, linearity, matrix effect, intra‐assay precision and sensitivity. Further, we have developed and evaluated a method based on accurate mass measurements of extracted target ions in full scan mode using micro‐LC‐LTQ‐Orbitrap as a tool for fast quantitative analysis. Both instruments exhibited very high sensitivity and repeatability in positive ionization mode. Coupling of micro‐LC to Orbitrap technology was not applicable to the negatively ionizable compounds. The LC triple quadrupole MS method has proved to be stable in quantitation, as it is with respect to the matrix effects of grain samples.     

Enantioselective column coupled electrophoresis employing large bore capillaries hyphenated with tandem mass spectrometry for ultra‐trace determination of chiral compounds in complex real samples

A new multidimensional analytical approach for the ultra‐trace determination of target chiral compounds in unpretreated complex real samples was developed in this work. The proposed analytical system provided high orthogonality due to on‐line combination of three different methods (separation mechanisms), i.e. (1) isotachophoresis (ITP), (2) chiral capillary zone electrophoresis (chiral CZE), and (3) triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (QqQ MS). The ITP step, performed in a large bore capillary (800 μm), was utilized for the effective sample pretreatment (preconcentration and matrix clean‐up) in a large injection volume (1–10 μL) enabling to obtain as low as ca. 80 pg/mL limits of detection for the target enantiomers in urine matrices. In the chiral CZE step, the different chiral selectors (neutral, ionizable, and permanently charged cyclodextrins) and buffer systems were tested in terms of enantioselectivity and influence on the MS detection response. The performance parameters of the optimized ITP – chiral CZE‐QqQ MS method were evaluated according to the FDA guidance for bioanalytical method validation. Successful validation and application (enantioselective monitoring of renally eliminated pheniramine and its metabolite in human urine) highlighted great potential of this chiral approach in advanced enantioselective biomedical applications.
