Analysis of the Isotope Patterns of Organic Sulfur Containing Compounds Ray A. Gross, Jr.
Outline • Theoretical Isotope Patterns • Real Isotope Patterns • New Method of Determining # S Atoms
Element a b Ratio a/b Variable # atoms Bromine 79 (51) 81 (49) 1:1 m Chlorine 35 (76) 37 (24) 3:1 n Sulfur 32 (94.93) 34 (4.29) 22:1 q Oxygen 16 (99.8) 18 (0.2) 500:1 p Silicon 28 (92) 30 (3) 30:1 r A/(A + 2) Isotope Ratios
Bromine Binomial Model for A + 2 Molecular Ion Intensities • Ratio of 79Br to 81Br = 1:1 • (a + b)m for Brm • (a + b)1 = 1a + 1b = 1:1 • (a + b)2 = 1a2 + 2ab+ 1b2 = 1:2:1
Chlorine Binomial Model for A + 2 Molecular Ion Intensities • Ratio of 35Cl to 37Cl = 3:1 • (3a + b)n for Cln • (3a + b)1 = 3a + b = 3:1 • (3a + b)2 = 9a2 + 6ab + 1b2 = 9:6:1
Sulfur A + 2 Binomial • Ratio of 32S to 34S = 22:1 • (22a + b)q for Sq • (22a + b)1 = 22a + 1b = 22:1 • (22a + b)2 = 484a2 + 44ab + 1b2 = 484:44:1
Conclusion • The intensity-ratio method is an efficient tool for determining small numbers of sulfur atoms in an unknown from its mass spectrum.
