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. Laser irradiation energy λ = 213 nm is utilized. The issue is of central importance for monitoring organic micro-pollutants in surface, ground, and drinking water as well as tasks of risk assessment for environment and human health from contamination with organics. Despite the significant importance of the topic, answering the question of functional kinetic relations of such processes is by no means straightforward, so far, due to a lack of in-depth knowledge of mechanistic aspects of fragment paths of analytes in environment and foods as well as kinetics of processes under ultraviolet laser irradiation. Although there is truth in the classical theory of first-order reaction kinetics, it does not describe all kinetic data on analytes (1) and (2). A new damped sine wave functional response to a large amount of kinetics is presented. High-resolution mass spectrometric data and chemometrics are used. The study provides empirical evidence for claim that temporal behavior of mass spectrometric variable intensity under negative polarity obeys a certain scientific law written by means of equation above. It is the same for positive and negative soft-ionization mass spectrometric conditions.
