5 Questions
What is a consequence of molecular ions formed by EI mass spectrometry being highly energetic species?
They undergo rearrangements.
What can happen to molecular ions formed by EI mass spectrometry in the case of complex molecules?
Many reactions can occur, including homolytic cleavage, heterolytic cleavage, and rearrangements.
What is formed by EI mass spectrometry?
Molecular ions and fragmented ions.
What do M+ and M+1 peaks in a mass spectrum correspond to?
The molecular ion and an isotopic peak.
What can be determined by analyzing the M++, M++1, and M++2 peaks in a mass spectrum?
The isotopic composition of the analyte.
Analyzing small fragments to determine the overall structure of a parent molecule. This process is crucial in understanding the properties and behavior of the molecule.
