Ionic probe attachment ionization mass spectrometry

The substituent effect on the spin-crossover behaviour in a series of mononuclear Fe(ii) complexes from thio-pybox ligands

The correlation of the SCO temperature and substituent electronegativity of ligands is observed and discussed for a family of [Fe(thio-pybox)2]2+ complexes.

15N-labeled ionic probe attachment mass spectrometry of carbon clusters

An ionization method that uses metal-complex-based ionization probes, malonic acid 3-[2,6-bis(4,4-dimethyloxazolin-2-yl)pyridin-4-yloxy]propyl ethyl ester (EM-TMpybox) and potassium N-{3-[2,6-bis(4,4-dimethyloxazolin-2-yl)pyridine-4-yloxy]propyl} aminoacetate (Sar-TMpybox), was developed for isotope ratio analysis and the effective ionization of unsubstituted carbon clusters. The preparation of Sar-TMpybox and EM-TMpybox and their applications in cold-spray ionization mass spectrometry are reported. A probe applicable to a substituted fullerene is also demonstrated.

(15)N-Labeled ionic probes for bioanalytical mass spectrometry

An effective La-complex-based probe ionization method is reported. Novel stable isotopically labeled probes containing the (15)N-labeled 2,6-bis(oxazolin-2-yl)pyridine (pybox) ligand, succinimide-tetramethylpybox (NHS-TMpybox), maleimide-tetramethylpybox (Mal-TMpybox), and 4-(tetramethylpybox)-butyl bromoacetate (BrAc-TMpybox), have been synthesized and their value in analyzing large complex molecules has been studied. The value of the (15)N-labeled pybox-La complex in ionizing various compounds, including bioactive peptides by cold-spray ionization mass spectrometry is emphasized.
