Charge inversion mass spectrometry: dissociation of resonantly neutralized molecules

Charge inversion mass spectrometry is an MS/MS method in which the electric charge of the precursor ions is opposite to that of the secondary product ions. Charge inversion mass spectrometry is classified into four types depending on the electric charge and time scale of collisions. Charge inversion mass spectrometry using collisions with gaseous targets in the keV energy collision range has provided insights into the structures and reactions of ions and neutral molecules. The characteristics of charge inversion experiments are presented in terms of the reaction endothermicities and the cross sections and their dependence on the target species. In the case of rare-gas or simple molecular targets, double-electron transfer in one collision is effective to form positive ions from negative ions, while, in the case of alkali metal targets, successive single-electron transfers in two collisions is effective to form negative ions from positive ions. On the basis of the observed target-density dependence of the product ion intensity and thermochemical considerations for internal energy distribution using thermometer molecules, the charge inversion processes using alkali metal targets have been confirmed to occur by electron transfers in successive collisions and the dissociation processes are found to occur in energy-selected neutral species formed from near-resonant neutralization with alkali metal targets. While collisionally activated dissociation (CAD) is due to dissociation of activated ions with broad internal energy distributions, the charge inversion process using alkali metal targets is due to dissociation of energy-selected neutral species with narrow internal energy distributions. The charge inversion/alkali metal spectra provide clear differentiation of the isomeric cations of C(2)H(2), C(3)H(4) and dichlorobenzenes. The CAD spectra of these isomeric cations are similar.     

Non-trivial temperature effects on the cation exchange chromatography and chelation ion chromatography of metal ions

The effect of column temperature upon the retention of metal ions on sulfonated and mono-, di-, and amino-carboxylated cation exchange columns has been investigated. The retention of alkali, alkaline earth and transition metal ions on each of the above types of cation exchanger was studied over the temperature range 19-65 degrees C. A major difference between the behaviour of mono- and divalent metal ions was shown on each of the above stationary phases, with the monovalent alkali metals exhibiting clearly exothermic behaviour (a decrease in retention with increased temperature) under acidic eluent conditions and an apparent relationship between retention factor and the magnitude of the temperature effect. The effect of temperature upon alkaline earth metal ions was less defined, although strongly endothermic behaviour (increase in retention with temperature) could be seen on all stationary phases through correct choice of eluent. The transition metal ions studied showed endothermic behaviour on all four stationary phases, with the sulfonated column unexpectedly showing the largest increases in retention. The above behaviour can be partially explained through the dominance of the type of solute-stationary phase interaction governing retention. In several of the above columns, both ion-exchange and surface complexation interactions can occur, with the effects of temperature indicating which process dominates under specific eluent conditions.

Retention of radionuclides on metal sulphide precipitates

The retention of various radionuclides on metal sulphide precipitates has been studied. The sulphide precipitates quantitatively retained the common radionuclides. The condition for 100% retention in a thin layer is small particle size (a few μm) in the precipitate. This can be ensured by pulverization of the dried precipitate of metal sulphide. ²⁰³Hg²⁺ is retained by mercury sulphide and ⁶⁵Zn²⁺ by zinc sulphide by isotopic exchange. The retention of foreign radioactive ions can be reduced or even eliminated by counter-carrier technique in cases where the retention is not due to chemical reaction, precipitate exchange. The isotopic exchange with mercury(II) sulphide and zinc sulphide enables mercury and zinc ions to be separated rapidly and determined in the presence of a number of interfering ions.     

Demonstration of simultaneous cation-exchange and reversed-phase mechanisms on a strong-acid cation-exchange column.

It is demonstrated in this report that a conventional strong-acid cation-exchange column can exhibit reversed-phase chromatographic behavior simultaneously with ion-exchange. Adjusting the pH to control cation retention has no effect on the retention of neutral organic analytes. Likewise, changes in the methanol content of the mobile phase to adjust organic analyte retention causes only a small decrease in retention of metal ions in the 0 to 10% (v/v) methanol range, and no significant effect beyond that. Linear calibration behavior of both metal cations and neutral organic analytes is found on this column over three-order of magnitude. Examples of simultaneous metal cation-neutral organic separations in both the isocratic and gradient modes are shown, with conductivity detection for the metal ions and UV for the organic analytes. An isocratic separation of metal ions and neutrals in a vitamin pill is also demonstrated.     

Simultaneous recovery of cadmium and lead from aqueous effluents by a semi-continuous laboratory-scale polymer enhanced ultrafiltration process

Performance of a semi-continuous polymer enhanced ultrafiltration (PEUF) process has been investigated for the simultaneous recovery of cadmium and lead from binary mixtures. This method uses poly(acrylic acid) as water-soluble polymer to bind these metals. Experiments have taken place in a laboratory-scale system. Loading ratio (mg total metal ions/g polymer) and pH values for separation of cadmium and lead have been studied by means of preliminary experiments, analyzing their influence on permeate flux, metal rejection coefficients and separation factor.The proposed process includes three different stages: total retention of metal ions, selective separation and polymer regeneration. Operating pH values for total retention of metal ions and polymer regeneration processes are 5 and 2, respectively. Selective separation has been investigated working at an intermediate pH value. In this way, if a stream containing 12.5 ppm of each metal ion (1:1 in weight) is treated in the first stage, two different streams enriched in each metal ion are obtained in the second stage. Permeate stream is enriched in cadmium with a proportion near 5:1 in weight, and retentate is enriched in lead with a similar proportion.Finally, the three stages have been modelled successfully with a mathematical model based on conservation equations and chemical reactions taking place in solution.     

Removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions by filtration with a novel complexing membrane containing poly(ethyleneimine) in a poly(vinyl alcohol) matrix

A novel complexing membrane was used for the removal of heavy metal ions such as Pb(II), Cd(II) and Cu(II) from aqueous solutions. The membrane consists in a semi-interpenetrating polymer network of crosslinked poly(vinyl alcohol) as the matrix and poly(ethyleneimine) as the complexing polymer. The absorption reactions followed pseudo-first-order kinetics with similar rate constants for the three cations. A model is proposed for the absorption–desorption process in order to rationalize the data obtained for the retention ratio and the retention efficiency ratio. The corresponding equilibrium constants were determined for the three metal ions, showing that the affinity order of the membrane is Pb > Cu > Cd. This sequence is consistent with the order of maximum uptake of the ions per gram of membrane: 0.59, 0.47 and 0.33 mmol g⁻¹, respectively. On the other hand, the uptake order is different on a mass basis: 123, 30 and 37 mg g⁻¹, respectively. Regeneration of the membrane and metal recovery were studied with HCl and HNO₃ at different concentrations. Filtration of solutions of each metal ion showed large elimination ratios (96–99.5%) with a retention sequence Cd > Cu > Pb. The membrane remained efficient until complete saturation of its sites. Moreover, Cu retention is larger than expected, indicating possible additional chelation by the PVA matrix. Better retention ratios were observed when the concentration of the feed solution was kept constant. Filtration of a mixture of the three cations (all at 100 ppm concentration) resulted in the same retention sequence, but the elimination ratios were smaller and Pb was eventually displaced by Cu and Cd that were present in larger molar concentrations.

Selective retention of basic compounds by metal aquo‐ion affinity chromatography

A novel metal aquo‐ion affinity chromatography has been developed for the analysis of basic compounds using heat‐treated silica gel containing hydrated metal cations (metal aquo‐ions) as the packing material. The packing materials of the metal aquo‐ion affinity chromatography were prepared by the immobilization of a single metal component such as Fe(III), Al(III), Ag(I), and Ni(II) on silica gel followed by extensive heat treatment. The immobilized metals form aquo‐ions to present cation‐exchange ability for basic analytes and the cation‐exchange ability for basic analytes depends on pK_a of the immobilized metal species. In the present study, to evaluate the retention characteristics of metal aquo‐ion affinity chromatography, the on‐line solid‐phase extraction of drugs was investigated. Obtained data clearly evidence the selective retention capability of metal aquo‐ion affinity chromatography for basic analytes with sufficient capacity.     

Ion exchange properties of monolithic and particle type iminodiacetic acid modified silica

A 10 cm silica monolith has been modified with iminodiacetic acid (IDA) groups and characterised for its selectivity toward alkali, alkaline earth, and selected transition metal cations. Physical characterisation of the modified monolith found non-homogeneous modification along the length of the monolith, although sufficient capacity was achieved to facilitate significant retention of alkaline earth and transition/heavy metal ions over a range of eluent pH and ionic strength conditions. For alkaline earth and transition/heavy metal ions, selectivity of the 10 cm IDA monolith closely matched that seen with a 25 cm IDA modified silica gel particle packed column, although the separation of alkali metal ions was noticeably poorer on the monolithic column. Peak efficiencies for most metal ions were of a similar order for both column types, except for Zn(II), which showed significant peak broadening on the IDA monolithic column.     

An ab initio investigation into the SN2 reaction: Frontside attack versus backside attack in the reaction of F− with CH3F

The energy hypersurface for the attack of fluoride ion on methyl fluoride has been explored with ab initio LCAO-SCF calculations at a split-valence basis set level. Transition states for frontside and backside attack have been located. In addition to transition states, two possible F^–-CH₃F clusters have been identified. The transition state for the substitution of fluoride with retention of configuration is found to be 56 kcal/mol higher than the transition state for inversion of configuration. The transition state for hydride displacement with inversion is 62 kcal/mol above the transition state for fluoride substitution with inversion.

Adsorption behaviour of metal ions on hydroximate resins

Some new chelating ion-exchange resins containing a hydroxamic acid moiety attached to a divinylbenzene styrene (DVBS) copolymer, i.e. glycine hydroximate in DVBS (GH-DVBS). anthranilic acid hydroximate in DVBS (AAHDVBS), malonic acid dihydroximate in DVBS (MAH-DVBS) and iminodiacetic acid dihydroximate in DVBS (IDAAH-DVBS). have been synthesized and their various physicochemical characteristics studied. The degree of retention of metal ions by the resins at equilibrium has been determined in terms of the molar distribution coefficient (k(d)). In general, the resins having a dihydroximate moiety are found to be more efficient compared to monohydroximate resins. However, it is of interest to note that the monohydroximate derivative of amino acid (GH-DVBS) showed better metal retention capability than the dihydroximate of carboxylic acid (MAH-DVBS). The selectivity of the resins for transition and highly charged metal ions is quite high compared to that for alkaline earth metals. All the synthesized resins can be utilized for the separation of a mixture of metal ions because the differences in the distribution coefficient values are large enough to permit good separations on columns. However, the GH-DVBS resin was tried for the separation of copper cobalt and copper nickel mixtures at pH 5.5 using the column mode of operation.     

Study of Host-Guest Complexation of Alkaline Earth Metal Ion,Aluminum Ion and Transition Metal Ions with Crown Ethers by Fast Atom Bombardment Mass Spectrometry

Complexations of crown ethers with alkali metal ions have been investigated extensively by FAB mass spectrometry over the past decade, but very little attention has been paid to reactions of crown ethers with other classes of metal ions such as alkaline earth metal ions, transition metal ions and aluminum ions. Although fast atom bombardment ionization mass spectrometry has proven to be a rapid and convenient method to determine the binding interactions of crown ethers with metal ions, problems in reliabilities for quantitative measurements of” binding strength for the host-guest complexes have been described in the literature. Thus, in this paper, applications of FAB/MS for investigating the complexation of crown ethers with various classes of metal ions is discussed. Extensive fragmentations for neutral losses such as C₂H₄O or C₂H₄ molecules from the host-guest complexes could be observed. The reason is attributed to the energetic bombardment processes of FAB occuring in the formation of these complexes. Complexes of cyclen with metal ions also show neutral losses of C₂H₄NH molecules leading to fragment ions. Transition metal ions usually form (Crown + MCl)⁺ type of ions, alkaline earth metal ions can form both (Crown + MCl)⁺ and (Crown + MOH)⁺ type of ions. But for aluminum ions, only (Crown + Al(OH)₂)⁺ type of ions could he observed.     

Effects of Metal Ions on the Micellization of Ionic Surfactants

The effect of metal ions (Cu(II), Zn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), La(III), Fe(III)) on the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of ionic surfactants (sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)) were investigated at 25±0.1°C, μ = 0.1 M (KNO₃), using conductivity method in this paper. A series of general empirical expressions about the relationship between the CMC values for SDS and CTAB and the concentrations of metal ions have been derived. The results showed that the CMC values for both SDS and CTAB decreased with increasing the concentrations of metal ions. This can be interpreted by the counterion effect and the entropy driving effect.     

Chromatography of inorganic ions o sulfoethyl cellulose layer in hydrochloric acid and in hydrochloric acid-ammonium thiocyanate media

Summary Chromatographic behavior of 51 inorganic ions has been systematically studied on layers of sulfoethyl (SE) cellulose, a strongly acidic exchanger, in hydrochloric acid and in acid-ammonium thiocyanate media. The sorption of most of the ions on he SE-cellulose decreases with increasing concentration of the acid and the thiocyanate. The characteristic retention of some metal ions of SE-cellulose layer can be recognized over a low concentration of the acid or the salt. Feasibilities for separations of analytical interest are also presented in both systems.     

Functional Water Soluble Polymers with Ability to Bind Metal Ions

Water-soluble polymers containing amine, carboxylic acid, and sulfonic acid groups were investigated as polychelatogens through the liquid phase polymer-based retention, LPR technique, under different experimental conditions. The metal ions investigated are: Ag(I), Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Ca(II), Hg(II), and Cr(III). An important effect of the pH and the ligand type was observed on the metal ion retention. As the pH increases the metal ion retention increases. Two types of metal ion interactions are involved: coordination and electrostatic.     

Variation in the sorption energy of esters ofn-perfluoroalkanoic acids on chromatographic phases of different polarity

The contributions of methylene and difluoromethylene units of six homologous and six pseudohomologous series of esters ofn-perfluoroalkanoic acids to the differential molar free energy, enthalpy, and entropy of sorption on stationary phases of different polarities in glass capillary columns under isothermal conditions were calculated. The features observed characterize the peculiarities of the sorption of esters of polyfluorinated carboxylic acids on phases of different polarities and make it possible to estimate the enthalpy and entropy contributions to the energy of sorption of the esters, the effect of the temperature of the analysis and the length of the alkyl or polyfluoroalkyl chain on the retention parameters of the compound analyzed. The inversion of the retention order of trifluoroacetates and pentafluoropropionates in XE-60 nitrile-containing phase was found.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
