Published: May 2007

Permethylated acidic and neutral N-glycans representing different types of glycan structures, such as linear and branched sialylated structures, high-mannose type and fucosylated complex type, were photodissociated with 157 nm vacuum ultraviolet light in a linear ion trap. Cross-ring fragments corresponding to high-energy fragmentation pathways were observed in abundance for all studied structures. Some product ions appear diagnostic for a linkage of sialic acid residues and the glycan antenna to which these residues are attached. A conclusive assignment of the fucosylation site of the studied glycan structure has been facilitated through measurement of cross-ring fragmentation resulting from photodissociation.

Methyl is crucial in plasma-assisted hydrocarbon chemistry, making precise in situ imaging essential for understanding various plasma applications. Its importance in methane chemistry arises from its role as a primary byproduct during the initial phase of methane dehydrogenation. Detecting the CH radical is challenging due to its high reactivity and the prevalence of strongly pre-dissociative electronically excited states.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are an important component of the interstellar medium of galaxies and photochemistry plays a key role in the evolution of these species in space. Here, we explore the photofragmentation behaviour of the coronene cation (CH˙) using time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The experiments show photodissociation fragmentation channels including the formation of bare carbon clusters (C˙) and hydrocarbon chains (CH).

Stochastic dynamic ultraviolet photofragmentation and high collision energy dissociation mass spectrometric kinetics of triadimenol and sucralose.

The major goal of the paper is to provide empirical proof of view that innovative stochastic dynamic mass spectrometric equation D″ = 2.6388·10·(< I >  -  < I > ) determines the exact analyte concentration in solution via quantifying experimental variable intensity (I) of an analyte ion per any short span of scan time of any measurement, which also appears applicable to quantify laser-induced ultraviolet photofragmentation and high energy collision dissociation mass spectrometric processes. Triadimenol (1) and sucralose (2) using positive and negative polarity are examined.

Visualization of the reaction zone of flames using CH radicals as markers is restricted by the low concentration of CH in fuel-lean conditions. To address this, methyl radicals () are employed as a substitution of CH in premixed methane/air flames. A pump-probe method was adopted with the pump laser photolyzing and the probe laser detecting the photolyzed CH () fragments.
