A New kHz Velocity Map Ion/Electron Imaging Spectrometer for Femtosecond Time-Resolved Molecular Reaction Dynamics Studies

A new velocity map imaging spectrometer is constructed for molecular reaction dynamics studies using time-resolved photoelectron/ion spectroscopy method.By combining a kHz pulsed valve and an ICCD camera,this velocity map imaging spectrometer can be run at a repetition rate of 1 kHz,totally compatible with the fs Ti:Sapphire laser system,facilitating time-resolved studies in gas phase which are usually time-consuming.Time-resolved velocity map imaging study of NH₃ photodissociation at 200 nm was performed and the time-resolved total kinetic energy release spectrum of H+NH₂ products provides rich information about the dissociation dynamics of NH₃.These results show that this new apparatus is a powerful tool for investigating the molecular reaction dynamics using time-resolved methods.     

An Improved Rapid Mixing Device for Time-Resolved Electrospray Mass Spectrometry Measurements

Time series data can provide valuable insight into the complexity of biological reactions. Such information can be obtained by mass-spectrometry-based approaches that measure pre-steady-state kinetics. These methods are based on a mixing device that rapidly mixes the reactants prior to the on-line mass measurement of the transient intermediate steps. Here, we describe an improved continuous-flow mixing apparatus for real-time electrospray mass spectrometry measurements. Our setup was designed to minimize metal–solution interfaces and provide a sheath flow of nitrogen gas for generating stable and continuous spray that consequently enhances the signal-to-noise ratio. Moreover, the device was planned to enable easy mounting onto a mass spectrometer replacing the commercial electrospray ionization source. We demonstrate the performance of our apparatus by monitoring the unfolding reaction of cytochrome C, yielding improved signal-to-noise ratio and reduced experimental repeat errors.     

Ultrafast Decay Dynamics of N-Ethylpyrrole Excited to the S1 Electronic State: A Femtosecond Time-Resolved Photoelectron Imaging Study

N-ethylpyrrole is one of ethyl-substituted derivatives of pyrrole and its excited-state decay dynamics has never been explored. In this work, we investigate ultrafast decay dynamics of N-ethylpyrrole excited to the S₁ electronic state using a femtosecond time-resolved photoelectron imaging method. Two pump wavelengths of 241.9 and 237.7 nm are employed. At 241.9 nm, three time constants, 5.0±0.7 ps, 66.4±15.6 ps and 1.3±0.1 ns, are derived. For 237.7 nm, two time constants of 2.1±0.1 ps and 13.1±1.2 ps are derived. We assign all these time constants to be associated with different vibrational states in the S₁ state. The possible decay mechanisms of different S₁ vibrational states are briefly discussed.

结合飞秒时间分辨的质谱技术与时间分辨的光电子影像技术对苯S₂激发态的超快动力学进行了研究.苯分子吸收两个400 nm的光子被激发到S₂态,之后再用一个267 nm的光子对其进行探测.获得的母体离子产率随泵浦探测时间延迟的变化曲线包含了两个不同的时间寿命组分.第一个时间寿命组分(90 ± 1) fs被归纳为S₂态到S₁/S₀态的内转换过程;第二个时间寿命组分(5.0 ± 0.2) ps被归纳为S₁态的衰减过程.实验中观察到的第二个寿命组分小于早前的研究结果,这表明了在S₁态的衰减过程中还可能存在其他的过程.从时间分辨的光电子影像提取得到的光电子能谱中发现了一个新的失活过程,该过程被归结为激发态S₁的振动态与“热”三重态T₃之间的系间交叉过程.     

Real-Time Distinguishing of the Xylene Isomers Using Photoionization and Dissociation Mass Spectra Obtained by Femtosecond Laser Mass Spectrometry (FLMS)

Abstract

Distinguishing chemicals and improvement on analytical methods has a direct impact on modern chemical analysis. In this work, the dissociative ionization of xylene isomers was investigated using a femtosecond laser mass spectrometry (FLMS) method with a custom-built linear time-of-flight (TOF) instrument. Laser beams at 800?nm and 400?nm were used and intensity-dependent analysis of the obtained mass spectra was performed using principal component analysis (PCA) to distinguish the xylene isomers, which give identical mass spectra in appearance that cannot be distinguished using normal mass spectrometry methods. The results show that there is a statistically highly significant difference between the xylene isomers for two principal components (1 ? α?>?99.99%) and minimal information loss (<5%) took place during the PCA procedure. Also, the use of the k-medoid clustering method showed that the isomers may be distinguished in real-time for a wide range of ionization laser pulse powers with approximately 99% accuracy. The results suggest that real-time isomer analysis by the FLMS method is suitable for mass spectral identification applications. The FLMS method has been shown to be an important alternative to other mass spectrometric methods that use different ionization mechanisms.     

Photodissociation of 2-Bromobutane by Ion-velocity Map ImagingTechnique

The photodissociation dynamics of 2-bromobutane has been investigated at 233.62 and 233.95 nm by ion-velocity map imaging technique coupled with resonance-enhanced mul-tiphoton ionization. The speed and angular distribution of Br and Br* fragments were determined from the map images. The two Gaussian components, shown in the speed dis-tributions of Br and Br* atoms, are suggested to attribute to the two independent reaction paths of photodissociation for 2-bromobutane at 233.62 and 233.95 nm. The high-energy component is related to the prompt dissociation along the C-Br stretching mode, and the low-energy component to the dissociation from the repulsive mode with bending and C-Br stretching combination. The contributions of the excited ³Q₀, ³Q₁, and ¹Q₁ states to the products (Br and Br*) were discussed. Relative quantum yield of 0.924 for Br(²P_3/2) at about 234 nm in the photodissociation of 2-bromobutane is derived.     

正丙醇和异丙醇的紫外光解动力学

利用高里德堡态氢原子飞行时间(HRTOF)探测技术,研究了正丙醇和异丙醇的紫外光解动力学过程.在193.3 nm光辐射下,O-H键快速断裂过程构成主要的氢原子生成通道.伴随O-H键的碎裂,相当大的一部分能量转换成氢原子及其相应碎片的平动能(正丙醇〈fv〉=0.76; 异丙醇〈fv〉=0.78).氢原子碎片具有各向异性的角度分布;其角分布异向因子β分别为-0.79(正丙醇)和-0.77(异丙醇).研究结果表明,吸收1个193.3 nm光子后,丙醇分子跃迁到一个寿命很短的电子激发态;沿着O-H反应坐标,该激发态势能面是排斥的,因而O-H键快速断裂.此外,还得到了丙醇的O-H键离解能: (432±2)kJ/mol(正丙醇)和(433±2)kJ/mol(异丙醇).     

Reaction Dynamics and Solution Chemistry of Polyoxometalates by Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry

Mass spectrometry both complements other analytical techniques and allows for types of analyses and experiments not possible with common analytical methods, such as NMR, IR, and UV/Vis spectroscopy. Electrospray constitutes one of the mildest forms of ionization, making it the preferred method for the analysis of large fragile or reactive ions. There is particular promise for mass spectrometry in aiding the characterization of polyoxometalates and their solutions, but caution must be taken in designing the experiments in order to yield reliable data and to avoid the temptation of over‐interpreting the relevance of gas‐phase data to solution chemistry.     

Channel-Resolved Ultrafast Dissociation Dynamics of NO2 Molecules Studied via Femtosecond Time-Resolved Ion Imaging

The ultrafast dissociation dynamics of NO₂ molecules was investigated by femtosecond laser pump-probe mass spectra and ion images. The results show that the kinetic energy release of NO⁺ ions has two components, 0.05 eV and 0.25 eV, and the possible dissociation channels have been assigned. The channel resolved transient measurement of NO⁺ provides a method to disentangle the contribution of ultrafast dissociation pathways, and the transient curvesof NO⁺ ions at different kinetic energy release are fitted by a biexponential function. The fast component with a decay time of 0.25 ps is generated from the evolution of Rydberg states. The slow component is generated from two competitive channels, one of the channel is absorbing one 400 nm photon to the excited state A²B2, which has a decay time of 30.0 ps, and the other slow channel is absorbing three 400 nm photons to valence type Rydberg states which have a decay time less than 7.2 ps. The channel and time resolved experiment present the potential of sorting out the complex ultrafast dissociation dynamics of molecules.

Ultrafast Dynamics of Water Molecules Excited to Electronic F States: A Time-Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy Study

The ultrafast dynamics of water molecules excited to the two F states is studied by combining two-photon excitation and time-resolved photoelectron imaging techniques. The lifetimes of the F₁A₁ and F₁B₁ states of H₂O (D₂O) were derived to be 1.0±0.3 (1.9±0.4) and 10±3 (30±10) ps, respectively. We propose that the F₁A₁ state mainly decays through the D state, due to the nonadiabatic coupling between them, while the F₁B₁ state decays through the F₁A₁ state via Coriolis interaction.     

Studies of Photoionization of CF3 I by Femtosecond Time-resolved Mass Spectrometry

The multi-photon dissociative photoionization dynamics of CF3I has been studied with femtosecond two-color pump-probe time of flight mass spectra at a pump pulse of 265 nm and a probe pulse of 398 nm. The life constants of CF3I+ and its fragment ions CF3+ and I+ are obtained as (96±7), (198±130) and (167±6)fs, respectively. The multi-photon dynamics leading to these ions differ. CF3I+ corresponds to a (1+2′) transition with one-photon pump excitation to the A band of CF3I. CF3+ are mainly formed by a tow-photon probe excitation to the CF3+ with subsequent dissociation of parent ions. I+ are produced in (2+2′) combined with (1+1′+2′) process. The results provide information on the multi-photon pathways involved.

The Measurement of Leucine Enkephalinat the Femtomole Level by Fast Atom Bombardment Mass Spectrometry/Mass Spectrometry Methods

Abstract

FAB-MS/MS methods are used to quantify the neuropeptide leucine enkephalin (LE = YGGFL) in synthetic solutions. Maximum molecular specificity is provided by monitoring two metastable transitions from the LE (M + H)⁺, 556 → 425 and 556 → 336, in a forward geometry (E, B) mass spectrometer using a B/E linked-field selected reaction monitoring technique. Obtained sensitivity is 40 pg LE, which equals 72 fmol. The statistics of the best-fit straight lines are, for m/z 425: y = 34 + 166 (r = 0.999), and for m/z 336: y = 2.5x + 17.2 (r = 0.996).     

Time-Resolved Spark-Source Mass Spectrometry; The Effect Of Spark Duration On Ion Intensity And Precision Of Analysis

Abstract

A radio-frequency probe and a synchronized electronic ion-beam chapper have been used to determine ion-intensity variation with spark duration. Large peaks in multiply charged ion intensities are detected in the early stages of the radio-frequency spark, while later in the spark period the singly charged species predominate. The effects of these variations on the precision of analysis have been determined. A gate was selected in the spark pulse, and a factor of two increase in precision was obtained.     

Modification of Reflectron Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer for Photodissociation of Mass-Selected Cluster lons

We introduce a modification of reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometer for laser photodissociation of mass-selected ions. In our apparatus, the ions of interests were selected by a mass gate near the first space focus point and decelerated right after the mass gate, were then crossed by a laser beam for dissociation. The daughter ions and surviving parent ions were re-accelerated and analyzed by the reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Compared to the designs reported by other research groups, our selection-deceleration-dissociation-reacceleration approach has better daughter-parent-ions-separation, easier laser timing, and better overlapping between the ion beam and laser beam. We also conducted detailed cal- culations on the parent ion and daughter ion flight times, and provided a simplified formula for the calibration of daughter ion mass.
