  1. Mass Spectrometry

  2. Only Cations are Detected

  3. Ionization to Radical CationMolecular Ion (m+)

  4. Glossary • Molecular ion - The ion obtained by the loss of one electron from the molecule (m+) • Base peak-The most intense peak in the MS, assigned 100% intensity • Radical cation-positively charged species with an odd number of electrons • Fragment ions - Lighter cations (and radical cations) formed by the decomposition of the molecular ion.  These often correspond to stable carbcations. • m/z-mass to charge ratio

  10. Effect of Branching in Hydrocarbons

  11. Isotopes • Mass spectrometers are capable of separating and detecting individual ions even those that only differ by a single atomic mass unit. • As a  result molecules containing different isotopes can be distinguished. • This is most apparent when atoms such as bromine or chlorine are present (79Br : 81Br, intensity 1:1 and 35Cl : 37Cl, intensity 3:1) where peaks at "M" and "M+2" are obtained. • The intensity ratios in the isotope patterns are due to the natural abundance of the isotopes. • "M+1" peaks are seen due the the presence of 13C in the sample.
