Abstract:Large multiply branched saturated hydrocarbons containing 67-103 carbon atoms (molecular masses 941.8-1446.8 Da) were analyzed by field desorption mass spectrometry (FD-MS) with a double-focusing mass spectrometer. FD-MS was found to have detection limits in the 100 fmol range. The FD mass spectra exhibited molecular ions of astonishingly low abundance. However, the fragment ions formed were closely related to the proposed molecular structure, allowing us to set up rules for straightforward structure elucidation of unknowns. In detail, (i) dehydrogenation, (ii) alkyl losses from molecular ions and (iii) subsequent alkene losses were observed. The influence of the electric field strength on dehydrogenation and C-C cleavages was examined by variation of the emitter potential. Additionally, ion dissociations in the ion source and in the first and second field-free regions, respectively, were compared to study the relative importance of field-induced and thermally induced processes.
