Study of collision-induced decomposition of phenothiazine by ion trap mass spectrometry

The collision-induced decomposition pathways of phenothiazine were studied in detail by ion trap mass spectrometry. With this approach, different amounts of energy can be deposited into the fragment ions, thus favouring particular structures. Different relative abundances in the fragmentation patterns of selected ions are observed, depending on whether they are produced by electron impact or multiple mass spectrometry (MS)ⁿ] methods.
