Abstract
Herein, an evaluation of the initial step of benzoxazine polymerization is presented by mass spectrometry, with a focus on differentiating the phenoxy and phenolic products formed by distinct pathways of the cationic ring opening polymerization (ROP) mechanism of polybenzoxazine formation. The use of infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) and ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) techniques allows for differentiation of the two pathways and provides valuable insights into the ROP mechanism. The results suggest that type I pathway is favored in the initial stages of the reaction yielding the phenoxy product, while type II product should be observed at later stages when the phenoxy product would interconvert to the most stable type II phenolic product. Overall, the findings presented here provide important information on the initial step of the benzoxazine polymerization, allowing the development of optimal polymerization conditions and represents a way to evaluate other multifunctional polymerization processes.

Abstract
Despite its success as an anticancer drug, cisplatin suffers from resistance and produces side effects. To overcome these limitations, amino-acid-linked cisplatin analogues have been investigated. Lysine-linked cisplatin, Lysplatin, (Lys)PtCl2, exhibited outstanding reactivity toward DNA and RNA that differs from that of cisplatin. To gain insight into its differing reactivity, the structure of Lysplatin is examined here using infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) action spectroscopy. To probe the influence of the local chemical environment on structure, the deprotonated and sodium-cationized Lysplatin complexes are examined. Electronic structure calculations are performed to explore possible modes of binding of Lys to Pt, their relative stabilities, and to predict their infrared spectra. Comparisons of the measured IRMPD and predicted IR spectra elucidate the structures contributing to the experimental spectra. Coexistence of two modes of binding of Lys to Pt is found where Lys binds via the backbone and side-chain amino nitrogen atoms, NNs, or to the backbone amino and carboxylate oxygen atoms, NO-. Glycine-linked cisplatin and arginine-linked cisplatin complexes have previously been found to bind only via the NO- binding mode. Present results suggest that the NNs binding conformers may be key to the outstanding reactivity of Lysplatin toward DNA and RNA.

Abstract
Glycerophospholipids (GPs) are highly abundant in eukaryotic cells and take part in numerous fundamental physiological processes such as molecular signaling. The GP composition of samples is often analyzed using mass spectrometry (MS), but identification of some structural features, for example, differentiation of stereospecific numbering (sn) isomers by well-established tandem MS (MS2) methods, is challenging. In particular, the formation of 1,3-dioxolane over 1,3-dioxane intermediates proposed to be responsible for the sn-selectivity of these tandem MS strategies has not been validated by spectroscopic methods. In this work, we present infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectra of phosphatidylcholine (PC) ions [PC 4:0/4:0 + H/Na/K]+ and [PC 4:0/4:0 + Na/K - 183]+ fragments generated by electrospray ionization (ESI)-MS and collision-induced dissociation (CID), respectively. IRMPD spectra of protonated, sodiated, and potassiated PC 4:0/4:0 differ in the phosphate- and ester-related bands, which are increasingly shifted to lower wavenumbers with higher adduct masses. Comparison of calculated and experimental IR spectra indicates the presence of multiple, two and one isomer(s) for [PC 4:0/4:0 + H]+, [PC 4:0/4:0 + Na]+, and [PC 4:0/4:0 + K]+, respectively. Isomers exhibiting pronounced sn-1 ester-ion interactions are computationally predicted to be energetically preferred for all species and are in line with experimental results. IRMPD spectra of [PC 4:0/4:0 + Na/K - 183]+ are presented and shed the first light on the fragment ion structures, rationalizing MS-based lipidomics strategies that aim to characterize the sn-isomerism of GPs.

Abstract
The gas-phase structures of protonated unsymmetrical 1,1-dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) and the proton-bound dimers of UDMH and hydrazine are examined by infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) action spectroscopy utilizing light generated by a free electron laser and an optical parametric oscillator laser system. To identify the structures present in the experimental studies, the measured IRMPD spectra are compared to spectra calculated at the B3LYP-GD3BJ/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory. These comparisons show that protonated UDMH binds the proton at the methylated nitrogen atom (α) with two low-lying α conformers probably being populated. For (UDMH)2H+, the proton is shared between the methylated nitrogen atoms with several low-lying α conformers likely to be populated. Higher-lying conformers of (UDMH)2H+ in which the proton is shared between α and β (unmethylated) nitrogen atoms cannot be ruled out on the basis of the IRPMD spectrum. For (N2H4)2H+, there are four low-lying conformers that all reproduce the IRMPD spectrum reasonably well. As hydrazine and UDMH see usage as fuels for rocket engines, such spectra are potentially useful as a means of remotely monitoring rocket launches, especially in cases of unsuccessful launches where environmental hazards need to be assessed.

Abstract
Infrared ion spectroscopy is increasingly recognized as a method to identify mass spectrometry-detected analytes in many (bio)chemical areas and its integration in analytical laboratories is now on the horizon. Commercially available quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometers are attractive ion spectroscopy platforms but operate at relatively high pressures. This promotes collisional deactivation which directly interferes with the multiple-photon excitation process required for ion spectroscopy. To overcome this, infrared lasers having a high instantaneous power are required and therefore a majority of analytical studies have been performed at infrared free electron laser facilities. Proliferation of the technique to routine use in analytical laboratories requires table-top infrared lasers and optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) are the most suitable candidates, offering both relatively high intensities and reasonable spectral tuning ranges. Here, we explore the potential of a range of commercially available high-power OPOs for ion spectroscopy, comparing systems with repetition rates of 10 Hz, 20 kHz, 80 MHz and a continuous-wave (cw) system. We compare the performance for various molecular ions and show that the kHz and MHz repetition-rate systems outperform cw and 10 Hz systems in photodissociation efficiency and offer several advantages in terms of cost-effectiveness and practical implementation in an analytical laboratory not specialized in laser spectroscopy.

Abstract
![]()
The capability of
an ion trap mass
spectrometer to store ions for
an arbitrary amount of time allows the use of a single infrared (IR)
laser to perform two-color double resonance IR–IR spectroscopic
experiments on mass-to-charge (m/z) selected ions. In this single-laser IR2MS3 scheme, one IR laser frequency is used to remove a selected set
of isomers from the total trapped ion population and the second IR
laser frequency, from the same laser, is used to record the IR spectrum
of the remaining precursor ions. This yields isomer-specific vibrational
spectra of the m/z-selected ions,
which can reveal the structure and identity of the initially co-isolated
isomeric species. The use of a single laser greatly reduces the experimental
complexity of two-color IR2MS3 and enhances
its application in fields employing analytical MS. In this work, we
demonstrate the methodology by acquiring single-laser IR2MS3 spectra in a forensic context, identifying two previously
unidentified isomeric novel psychoactive substances (NPS) from a sample
that was confiscated by the Amsterdam Police.

Abstract
RATIONALE Methods for isomer discrimination by mass spectroscopy are of increasing interest. Here we describe the development of a three-dimensional ion trap for infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy that enables the acquisition of the infrared spectrum of selected ions in the gas phase. This system is suitable for the study of a myriad of chemical systems, including isomer mixtures. METHODS A modified three-dimensional ion trap was coupled to a CO2 laser and an optical parametric oscillator/optical parametric amplifier (OPO/OPA) system operating in the range 2300 to 4000 cm-1 . Density functional theory vibrational frequency calculations were carried out to support spectral assignments. RESULTS Detailed descriptions of the interface between the laser and the mass spectrometer, the hardware to control the laser systems, the automated system for IRMPD spectrum acquisition and data management are presented. The optimization of the crystal position of the OPO/OPA system to maximize the spectroscopic response under low-power laser radiation is also discussed. CONCLUSIONS OPO/OPA and CO2 laser-assisted dissociation of gas-phase ions was successfully achieved. The system was validated by acquiring the IRMPD spectra of model species and comparing with literature data. Two isomeric alkaloids of high economic importance were characterized to demonstrate the potential of this technique, which is now available as an open IRMPD spectroscopy facility in Brazil.

Abstract
The monofunctional primary complexes cis-[PtCl(NH3)2(L)]+, formed by the reaction of cisplatin, a major chemotherapeutic agent, with four nucleobases L, i.e., uracil (U), 2-thiouracil (2SU), 4-thiouracil (4SU), and 2,4-dithiouracil (24dSU), have been studied by a combination of infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) action spectroscopy in both the fingerprint (900-1900 cm-1) and the N-H/O-H stretching (3000-3800 cm-1) ranges, energy-resolved collision-induced dissociation (CID) mass spectrometry, and density functional calculations at the B3LYP/LACVP/6-311G** level. On the basis of the comparison across the experimental features and the linear IR spectra of conceivable structures, the cisplatin residue is found to promote a monodentate interaction preferentially with the O4(S4) atoms of the canonical forms of U, 4SU, and 24dSU and to the S2 atom of 2SU, yielding the most stable structures. Additional absorptions reveal the presence of minor, alternative tautomers in the sampled ion populations of 2SU and 24dSU, underlying the ability of cisplatin to increase the prospect of (therapeutically beneficial) nucleic acid strand disorder. Implication of these evidence may provide insights into drug mechanism and design.

Abstract
2-Thiopyrimidine nucleosides exhibit properties that are interesting from both a biological/medicinal and origins of life chemistry point of view. We report here the first synthesis of the nucleoside 2-thioorotidine and our observations on its unexpected lability with respect to its N-glycosidic bond when compared with its corresponding canonical pyrimidine counterparts. We hypothesize that the cause of the lability of the N-glycosidic bond is due to the combined steric and electronic effects from the 2-thio- and the 6-carboxyl groups, a lability that could, in turn, be useful for further chemical transformations.

Abstract
The 2'-substituents distinguish DNA from RNA nucleosides. 2'-O-methylation occurs naturally in RNA and plays important roles in biological processes. Such 2'-modifications may alter the hydrogen-bonding interactions of the nucleoside and thus may affect the conformations of the nucleoside in an RNA chain. Structures of the protonated 2'-O-methylated pyrimidine nucleosides were examined by infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) action spectroscopy, assisted by electronic structure calculations. The glycosidic bond stabilities of the protonated 2'-O-methylated pyrimidine nucleosides, [Nuom+H]+, were also examined and compared to their DNA and RNA nucleoside analogues via energy-resolved collision-induced dissociation (ER-CID). The preferred sites of protonation of the 2'-O-methylated pyrimidine nucleosides parallel their canonical DNA and RNA nucleoside analogues, [dNuo+H]+ and [Nuo+H]+, yet their nucleobase orientation and sugar puckering differ. The glycosidic bond stabilities of the protonated pyrimidine nucleosides follow the order: [dNuo+H]+ < [Nuo+H]+ < [Nuom+H]+. The slightly altered structures help explain the stabilization induced by 2'-O-methylation of the pyrimidine nucleosides.

Infrared ion spectroscopy: New opportunities for small-molecule identification in mass spectrometry - A tutorial perspective. Anal Chim Acta 2019; 1093:1-15. [PMID: 31735202 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2019.10.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 49] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2019] [Revised: 10/19/2019] [Accepted: 10/21/2019] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
Combining the individual analytical strengths of mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy, infrared ion spectroscopy is increasingly recognized as a powerful tool for small-molecule identification in a wide range of analytical applications. Mass spectrometry is itself a leading analytical technique for small-molecule identification on the merit of its outstanding sensitivity, selectivity and versatility. The foremost shortcoming of the technique, however, is its limited ability to directly probe molecular structure, especially when contrasted against spectroscopic techniques. In infrared ion spectroscopy, infrared vibrational spectra are recorded for mass-isolated ions and provide a signature that can be matched to reference spectra, either measured from standards or predicted using quantum-chemical calculations. Here we present an overview of the potential for this technique to develop into a versatile analytical method for identifying molecular structures in mass spectrometry-based analytical workflows. In this tutorial perspective, we introduce the reader to the technique of infrared ion spectroscopy and highlight a selection of recent experimental advances and applications in current analytical challenges, in particular in the field of untargeted metabolomics. We report on the coupling of infrared ion spectroscopy with liquid chromatography and present experiments that serve as proof-of-principle examples of strategies to address outstanding challenges.

Abstract
Benzoxazine formation is a fundamental step in the preparation of polybenzoxazine resins, and a detailed description of the mechanism governing the formation of benzoxazine and side products is vital for improving the properties and performance of these resins. Determination of the nature and properties of reaction intermediates is not trivial. Therefore, a Mannich-type condensation of aniline, formaldehyde, and phenol was evaluated as a potential method to form benzoxazine. Coupling positive mode electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI(+)-MS) with infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy allowed unambiguous determination of an iminium-based mechanism and the direct observation of iminium intermediates. The benzoxazine formation mechanism was indirectly confirmed by the observation of side products that are relevant to the polymerization step, and directly confirmed by the identification of four distinct reaction intermediates that were completely characterized by IRMPD spectroscopy. The benzoxazine monomer was also shown to undergo isomerization under standard ESI-MS analysis conditions, suggesting the presence of a mixture of three isomers during their usual ESI-MS analysis.

Abstract
Gas-phase conformations of the sodium-cationized forms of the 2'-deoxycytidine and cytidine mononucleotides, [pdCyd+Na]+ and [pCyd+Na]+, are examined by infrared multiple photon dissociation action spectroscopy. Complimentary electronic structure calculations at the B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,2p)//B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory provide candidate conformations and their respective predicted IR spectra for comparison across the IR fingerprint and hydrogen-stretching regions. Comparisons of the predicted IR spectra and the measured infrared multiple photon dissociation action spectra provide insight into the impact of sodium cationization on intrinsic mononucleotide structure. Further, comparison of present results with those reported for the sodium-cationized cytidine nucleoside analogues elucidates the impact of the phosphate moiety on gas-phase structure. Across the neutral, protonated, and sodium-cationized cytidine mononucleotides, a preference for stabilization of the phosphate moiety and nucleobase orientation is observed, although the details of this stabilization differ with the state of cationization. Several low-energy conformations of [pdCyd+Na]+ and [pCyd+Na]+ involving several different orientations of the phosphate moiety and sugar puckering modes are observed experimentally.

Structures and Relative Glycosidic Bond Stabilities of Protonated 2'-Fluoro-Substituted Purine Nucleosides. JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR MASS SPECTROMETRY 2019; 30:1521-1536. [PMID: 31111413 DOI: 10.1007/s13361-019-02222-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2018] [Revised: 04/10/2019] [Accepted: 04/10/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
The 2'-substituent is the primary distinguishing feature between DNA and RNA nucleosides. Modifications to this critical position, both naturally occurring and synthetic, can produce biologically valuable nucleoside analogues. The unique properties of fluorine make it particularly interesting and medically useful as a synthetic nucleoside modification. In this work, the effects of 2'-fluoro modification on the protonated gas-phase purine nucleosides are examined using complementary tandem mass spectrometry and computational methods. Direct comparisons are made with previous studies on related nucleosides. Infrared multiple photon dissociation action spectroscopy performed in both the fingerprint and hydrogen-stretching regions allows for the determination of the experimentally populated conformations. The populated conformers of protonated 2'-fluoro-2'-deoxyadenosine, [Adofl+H]+, and 2'-fluoro-2'-deoxyguanosine, [Guofl+H]+, are highly parallel to their respective canonical DNA and RNA counterparts. Both N3 and N1 protonation sites are accessed by [Adofl+H]+, stabilizing syn and anti nucleobase orientations, respectively. N7 protonation and anti nucleobase orientation dominates in [Guofl+H]+. Spectroscopically observable intramolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions with fluorine allow more definitive sugar puckering determinations than possible for the canonical systems. [Adofl+H]+ adopts C2'-endo sugar puckering, whereas [Guofl+H]+ adopts both C2'-endo and C3'-endo sugar puckering. Energy-resolved collision-induced dissociation experiments with survival yield analyses provide relative glycosidic bond stabilities. The N-glycosidic bond stabilities of the protonated 2'-fluoro-substituted purine nucleosides are found to exceed those of their canonical analogues. Further, the N-glycosidic bond stability is found to increase with increasing electronegativity of the 2'-substituent, i.e., H < OH < F. The N-glycosidic bond stability is also greater for the adenine nucleoside analogues than the guanine nucleoside analogues.

JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR MASS SPECTROMETRY 2019; 30:832-845.

Abstract
Modified nucleosides have been an important target for pharmaceutical development for the treatment of cancer, herpes simplex virus, and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Amongst these nucleoside analogues, those based on 2',3'-dideoxyribose sugars are quite common, particularly in anti-HIV applications. The gas-phase structures of several protonated 2',3'-dideoxyribose nucleosides are examined in this work and compared with those of the analogous protonated DNA, RNA, and arabinose nucleosides to elucidate the influence of the 2'- and combined 2',3'-hydroxyl groups on intrinsic structure. Infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) action spectra are collected for the protonated 2',3'-dideoxy forms of adenosine, guanosine, cytidine, thymidine and uridine, [ddAdo+H]+, [ddGuo+H]+, [ddCyd+H]+, [ddThd+H]+, and [ddUrd+H]+, in the IR fingerprint and hydrogen-stretching regions. Molecular mechanics conformational searching followed by electronic structure calculations generates low-energy conformers of the protonated 2',3'-dideoxynucleosides and corresponding predicted linear IR spectra to facilitate interpretation of the measured IRMPD action spectra. These experimental IRMPD spectra and theoretical calculations indicate that the absence of the 2'- and 3'-hydroxyls largely preserves the protonation preferences of the canonical forms. The spectra and calculated structures indicate a slight preference for C3'-endo sugar puckering. The presence of the 3'- and further 2'-hydroxyl increases the available intramolecular hydrogen-bonding opportunities and shifts the sugar puckering modes for all nucleosides but the guanosine analogues to a slight preference for C2'-endo over C3'-endo.
