Abstract
Reactions in confined spaces exhibit unique reactivity, while how the confinement effect enhances reactions remains unclear. Herein, the reaction in the confined space of a nanopipette reactor was examined by in situ nano-electrospray mass spectrometry (nanoESI-MS). The indole cation-radical cyclization was selected as the model reaction, catalyzed by a common visible-light-harvesting complex Ru(bpz)3(PF6)2 (1% eq.) rather than traditional harsh reaction conditions (high temperature or pressure, etc.). As demonstrated by in situ nanoESI-MS, this reaction was readily promoted in the nanopipette under mild conditions, while it was inefficient in both normal flasks and microdroplets. Both experimental and theoretical evidence demonstrated the formation of concentrated Ru(II)-complexes on the inner surface of the nanopipette, which facilitated the accelerated reactions. As a result, dissociative reactive cation radicals with lower HOMO-LUMO gap were generated from the Ru(II)-complexes by ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT). Furthermore, the crucial cation radical intermediates were captured and dynamically monitored via in situ nanoESI-MS, responsible for the electronically matched [4 + 2] cycloaddition and subsequent intramolecular dehydrogenation. This work inspires a deeper understanding of the unique reactions in confined spaces.

Development of supercritical fluid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry method for characterization of a nonionic surfactant and comparison with liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry method. JOURNAL OF MASS SPECTROMETRY : JMS 2020; 55:e4499. [PMID: 31919971 DOI: 10.1002/jms.4499] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2019] [Revised: 01/03/2020] [Accepted: 01/05/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
The supercritical fluid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (SFC-MS) method and liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method were developed for the separation and characterization of poly (ethylene oxide) methyl glucose sesquistearate (PEO-Glu-sesquistearate). The products of PEO-Glu-sesquistearate are composed of complex oligomers. The relationship between molecular structure of these oligomers and chromatographic retention behavior in both SFC and LC were discussed and compared. As compared with LC, hydrophobic moieties of compounds favor the fast elution in SFC. The different series can be better separated by LC, while the homologues compounds in same series can be better separated by SFC, and SFC-MS provided more comprehensive structural information. Different series such as PEO-distearate, PEO-stearate, PEO, PEO-Glu-tetrastearate, PEO-Glu-tristearate, PEO-Glu-distearate, PEO-Glu-stearate, and PEO-Glu were identified by MS/MS.

Abstract
This review covers the applications of mass spectrometry (MS) and its hyphenated techniques to characterize polyurethane (PU) synthetic polymers and their respective hard and soft segments. PUs are commonly composed of hard segments including methylene bisphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) and toluene diisocyanate (TDI), and soft segments including polyester and polyether polyols. This literature review highlights MS techniques such as electrospray ionization (ESI), matrix assisted laser/desorption ionization (MALDI), ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS), and computational methods that have been used for the characterization of this polymer system. Here we review specific case studies where MS techniques have elucidated unique features pertaining to the makeup and structural integrity of complex PU materials and PU precursors.

Abstract
Polyester can coatings protect both food and packaging from mutual contamination. Even though, can coatings may release Non-Intentionally Added Substances (NIAS) in addition to Intentionally Added Substances (IAS). As NIAS are mainly constituted by cyclic or linear side products that are formed during the polymerization process, we focused our attention on these oligomeric species of molecular weight <1000 Da. These oligomers were obtained from two different polyester resins, each synthesized from four monomers (two phthalic acids and two diols), and from the corresponding final enamel can coatings using ethanol at 95% and 50% at 60 °C for 4 h and 10 days, respectively, as food simulants. HPLC-ESI-MS analysis on the extracts allowed identifying various cyclic and linear oligomers. For the conclusive identification of the different oligomers and their isomeric structures, ad hoc standards were synthesized by acylation reaction between alkyl diols and phthaloyl chlorides. By comparison of 1H NMR spectra, linear and cyclic oligomers were characterized by finding the major presence of 2 + 2 cyclic compounds. The 16 synthesized standards, 4 linear and 12 cyclic compounds were used to establish a method for quantification of linear and cyclic oligomers in enamel migration samples by micro HPLC-high-resolution MS (HRMS). The results showed no significant differences between the amounts of cyclic oligomers extracted with both ethanol concentrations (50 and 95%) and time contact. The extracts showed only a small amount of linear compounds and a prevalence of 2 + 2 cyclic oligomers. The work shows the great importance of the synthesis of specific standards to allow exact quantification in food contact material migrates.

Abstract
Supercritical fluids, exhibiting a combination of liquid-like solvation power and gas-like diffusivity, are a relatively unexplored medium for processing and crystallization of oligomer and polymeric semiconductors whose optoelectronic properties critically depend on the microstructure. Here we report oligomer crystallization from the polymer organic semiconductor, poly[2,5-bis(3-dodecylthiophen-2-yl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene] (PBTTT) in supercritical hexane, yielding needle-like single crystals up to several microns in length. We characterize the crystals' photophysical properties by time- and polarization-resolved photoluminescence (TPRPL) spectroscopy. These techniques reveal two-dimensional interchromophore coupling facilitated by the high degree of π-stacking order within the crystal. Furthermore, the crystals obtained from supercritical fluid were found to be similar photophysically as the crystallites found in solution-cast thin films and distinct from solution-grown crystals that exhibited spectroscopic signatures indicative of different packing geometries.

Detailed profiling of both enzymatic (e.g., glycosylation) and non-enzymatic (e.g., oxidation and deamidation) post-translational modifications (PTMs) is frequently required for the quality assessment of protein-based drugs.

Abstract
In various polymerization processes, the formation of a wide variety of chains, not only in length but also in chemical composition, broadly complicates comprehensive polymer characterization. In this communication, we compare different stationary and mobile phases for the analysis of complex polymer mixtures via size-exclusion chromatography-mass spectrometry (SEC-MS). To the best of our knowledge, we report novel chromatographic effects for the separation of linear and cyclic oligomers for polyesters (PE) and polyurethanes (PUR). A complete separation for the different structures was achieved for both polymer types with a single-solvent system (acetonitrile, ACN) and without extensive optimization. Additionally, cyclic species were found to show an inverse elution profile compared to their linear counterparts, suggesting distinct physical properties between species.

Abstract
MALDI-TOF/TOF collision-induced dissociation (CID) experiments were conducted on model aromatic polyester oligomers. CID fragmentation studies identified initial fracture of the ester bond and subsequent CO loss as a major pathway, consistent with the general fragmentation mechanism used to explain the origin of poly(p-phenylenediamine terephthalamide) (PPD-T) fragment ions. Specifically, both charge-remote and charge-site fragmentation were observed. Different parent-ion species were observed, the major ones being carboxyl-hydroxyl, di-carboxyl, di-hydroxyl, and phenyl-carboxyl terminated. One species observed was hydroxyl-diethylamine terminated caused by reaction of carboxyl groups with triethylamine added to the synthesis reaction mixture. Fragment ions reflected the end groups of the parent oligomers. Some MALDI fragment-ion spectra were obtained for species showing exchange between Li and H at the carboxyl end group. Bond energy calculations provide further insight into suggested fragmentation mechanisms.
