  18. Determination of Formula:Rule of 13 Assumes CnHn and amu equivalent (13 for n=1) is present in all molecular fragment ions Step 1: Divide M+ mass by 13, this gives n Step 2: Any remainder represents count of additional Hʼs example 1: for M+ = 78 78 ÷ 13 = 6 → n = 6 → C6H6 example 2: for M+ = 92 92 ÷ 13 = 7.077 → n = 7 7 x 13 = 91 → 1 extra H is present Formula is C7H7+1 = C7H8

  19. Determination of Formula:Rule of 13 example 3: for M+ = 161 161 ÷ 13 = 12.385 → n = 12 12 x 13 = 156 → 5 extra Hʼs are present Formula is C12H12+5 = C12H17 What about heteroatoms? Step 1: First derive formula as above Step 2: Next, modify using CnHm equivalents

  20. Problem An unknown compound subjected to mass spectrometry gave the parent ion at m/z = 114. The parent ion quickly undergoes homolytic -cleavage to give fragment ions with m/z = 99 (100 %) and m/z = 45 (45 %). No other significant peaks are seen the in spectrum. The unknown does not react when treated with H2, Pd/C. The infrared spectrum of the unknown shows a strong, broad peak at 3500 cm-1. Show the reaction and the electron pushing mechanism that accounts for the fragmentation of the parent ion to give either of the observed fragments.

High energy hard ionization Low energy soft ionization MS Ionization Techniques • Electron Impact (EI)uses beam of electrons • Fast Atom Bombardment (FAB)uses beam of atoms • Chemical Ionization (CI)uses chemical reactions • Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption (MALDI)uses lasers to ionize molecules • Electrosprayuses compounds which are already ionic
