MS ionises molecules - forms p... i...

Separates ions by m/z (mass:charge ratio)

Produces a mass spectrum

positive ions

2
New cards

Molecular ion peak: on r... hand side, last proper peak

right

New cards

Molecular ion peak gives ...

Base peak = tallest peak- most a... fragment

Fragmentation: molecular ion breaks into s... i...

Fragment peaks help identify s...o

mr, abundant, smaller ions, structure

Common fragments:

CH₃⁺ = 15

OH⁺ = 17

CO⁺ = 28

CHO⁺ = 29

C₂H₅⁺ = 29

C₃H₇⁺ = 43

CH₃CO⁺ = 43

C₄H₉⁺ = 57

C₅H₁₁⁺ = 71

C₆H₅⁺ = 77

C₆H₅CH₂⁺ = 91

Fragments are ALWAYS p...
