Abstract
The combination of electrochemistry and mass spectrometry is a powerful analytical tool for studying redox reaction mechanisms and identifying products or intermediates. However, the previously reported devices all require bespoke fabrication and are too complicated to be assembled and used by others. Crucially, the long ion transport distance and small spray volumes make it difficult to capture the short-lived intermediates. We present a practical mass spectrometric method in which surface-modified carbon fiber paper is innovatively applied to detect electrogenerated intermediates. Treating carbon fiber paper with dilute nitric acid removes its surface impurities, enhancing the capability of electro-redox. Electrospray ionization and redox reaction occur simultaneously on the tip of the paper. Transient electro-redox species generate and transfer into gas phase as soon as the appearance of spray. Rapid transport of quantities of electrogenerated ions to the mass spectrometer inlet makes it possible for mass spectrometric identification on the millisecond scale. The short-lived radical cations and iminium ions were successfully captured, reflecting the starting step of the cross-dehydrogenation coupling reaction. The real-time oxidation and online functionalization reactions of tertiary amines were achieved using this device without additional oxidants and electrolytes. In this way we could achieve in-depth mechanistic understanding and rapid screening of serial reactions.

Abstract
A simple and effective approach to studying the mechanism of electrooxidation of aniline (ANI) is reported in this paper. It was accomplished by an innovative electrochemistry (EC)-mass spectrometry (MS) coupling, which can sample directly from a droplet-scale reacting electrolyte for mass spectrometric analysis. With this setup, the polymer chain growth of ANI could be monitored in situ and in real-time. The short-lived radical cations (ANI•+, m/ z 93.06) as well as the soluble dimer ( m/ z 183.09) and oligomers ( m/ z 274.13, 365.18, ...) were successfully captured. Using the EC-MS and tandem mass spectrometry, the dimers produced by head-to-tail (4-aminodiphenylamine), head-to-head (hydrazobenzene), and tail-to-tail (benzidine) coupling of radical cations were found in the same polymerization process. Moreover, the EC-MS method was also applicable for determining the propagation speed of ANI when applying different electrolyte salts and oxidizing potentials.

Abstract
The knowledge of metabolic pathways and biotransformation of xenobiotics, artificial substances foreign to the entire biological system, is crucial for elucidation of degradation routes of potentially toxic substances. Nowadays, there are many methods to simulate xenobiotic metabolism in the human body in vitro. In this review, the metabolism of various substances in the human body is described, followed by a summary of methods used for prediction of metabolic pathways and biotransformation. Above all, focus is placed on the coupling of electrochemistry to mass spectrometry, which is still a relatively new technique. This promising tool can mimic both oxidative phase I and conjugative phase II metabolism. Different experimental arrangements, with or without a separation step, and various applications of this technique are illustrated and critically reviewed.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry coupled with an in-line electrochemical electrospray ionization source is used to capture some of the reaction intermediates formed in the [Ru(bpy)(tpy)(H2 O)]2+ (bpy=2,2'-bipyridine, tpy=2,2':6',2"-terpyridine) catalyzed water oxidation reaction. By controlling the applied electrochemical potential, we identified the parent complex, as well as the first two oxidation complexes, identified as [Ru(bpy)(tpy)(OH)]2+ and [Ru(bpy)(tpy)(O)]2+ . The structures of the parent and first oxidation complexes are probed directly in the mass spectrometer by using infrared predissociation spectroscopy of D2 -tagged ions. Comparisons between experimental vibrational spectra and density functional theory calculations confirmed the identity and structure of these two complexes. Moreover, the frequency of the O-H stretching mode in [Ru(bpy)(tpy)(OH)]2+ shows that this complex features a Ru-OH interaction that is more covalent than ionic.

Abstract
Electrochemistry (EC) combined with mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful tool for elucidation of electrochemical reaction mechanisms. However, direct online analysis of electrochemical reaction in aqueous phase was rarely explored. This paper presents the online investigation of several electrochemical reactions with biological relevance in the aqueous phase, such as nitrosothiol reduction, carbohydrate oxidation, and carbamazepine oxidation using desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI-MS). It was found that electroreduction of nitrosothiols [e.g., nitrosylated insulin B (13-23)] leads to free thiols by loss of NO, as confirmed by online MS analysis for the first time. The characteristic mass shift of 29 Da and the reduced intensity provide a quick way to identify nitrosylated species. Equally importantly, upon collision-induced dissociation (CID), the reduced peptide ion produces more fragment ions than its nitrosylated precursor ion (presumably the backbone fragmentation cannot compete with the facile NO loss for the precursor ion), thus facilitating peptide sequencing. In the case of saccharide oxidation, it was found that glucose undergoes electro-oxidation to produce gluconic acid at alkaline pH, but not at neutral and acidic pHs. Such a pH-dependent electrochemical behavior was also observed for disaccharides such as maltose and cellobiose. Upon electrochemical oxidation, carbamazepine was found to undergo ring contraction and amide bond cleavage, which parallels the oxidative metabolism observed for this drug in leucocytes. The mechanistic information of these redox reactions revealed by EC/DESI-MS would be of value in nitroso-proteome research and carbohydrate/drug metabolic studies.

Abstract
Electrochemistry (EC) is a mature scientific discipline aimed to study the movement of electrons in an oxidation-reduction reaction. EC covers techniques that use a measurement of potential, charge, or current to determine the concentration or the chemical reactivity of analytes. The electrical signal is directly converted into chemical information. For in-depth characterization of complex electrochemical reactions involving the formation of diverse intermediates, products and byproducts, EC is usually combined with other analytical techniques, and particularly the hyphenation of EC with mass spectrometry (MS) has found broad applicability. The analysis of gases and volatile intermediates and products formed at electrode surfaces is enabled by differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS). In DEMS an electrochemical cell is sampled with a membrane interface for electron ionization (EI)-MS. The chemical space amenable to EC/MS (i.e., bioorganic molecules including proteins, peptides, nucleic acids, and drugs) was significantly increased by employing electrospray ionization (ESI)-MS. In the simplest setup, the EC of the ESI process is used to analytical advantage. A limitation of this approach is, however, its inability to precisely control the electrochemical potential at the emitter electrode. Thus, particularly for studying mechanistic aspects of electrochemical processes, the hyphenation of discrete electrochemical cells with ESI-MS was found to be more appropriate. The analytical power of EC/ESI-MS can further be increased by integrating liquid chromatography (LC) as an additional dimension of separation. Chromatographic separation was found to be particularly useful to reduce the complexity of the sample submitted either to the EC cell or to ESI-MS. Thus, both EC/LC/ESI-MS and LC/EC/ESI-MS are common.

Abstract
Oxidation is commonly involved in the alteration of nucleic acids giving rise to diverse effects including mutation, cell death, malignancy, and aging. We demonstrate that electrochemistry represents an efficient and fast method to mimic oxidative modification of nucleic acids occurring in biological systems. Oxidation reactions were performed in a thin-layer cell employing a conductive diamond electrode as the working electrode and were monitored with electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry. Mass voltammograms were acquired for guanosine, adenosine, cytidine, and uridine. The observed oxidation potentials increased in the order guanosine << adenosine < cytidine < uridine. Oxidation products of guanosine were characterized using high-resolution (tandem) mass spectrometry performed with a quadrupole-quadrupole time-of-flight instrument. On the basis of these experiments, it was concluded that the initial electrode reaction involves a one-electron, one-proton step to give a free radical. The primary oxidation product represents the starting point for a number of follow-up reactions, including guanosine dimerization as well as further oxidation to 8-hydroxyguanosine. Similar results were obtained for guanosine monophosphate and the corresponding dinucleotide. Furthermore, the guanosine radical was identified as an important intermediate for the formation of a covalent adduct with acetaminophen. This observation sheds new light on the mechanism of adduct formation as it demonstrates that oxidative activation of both the nucleobase and the adduct-forming agent is necessary to observe a detectable amount of adduct species.

Abstract
We describe a novel method and setup for quantitative online analysis of the liquid-phase methanol oxidation products in acidic aqueous solutions by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). This includes a specially designed flow system, which allows continuous online mixing, derivatization, extraction, separation, and quantitative detection within ca. 3 min. For electrospray ionization of formaldehyde, it is first online-derivatized by 2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazine to form the easily ionizable 2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazone. Then, both formic acid and derivatized formaldehyde are online extracted into an immiscible organic phase, which, after separation from the aqueous phase, is piped to the ESI-MS for analysis. This strategy ensures complete removal of the highly corrosive sulfuric acid from the analyte and allows the liquid-phase methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) products (formaldehyde and formic acid) to be quantitatively detected by ESI-MS. Finally, the potential of this method for online analysis in electroanalysis and electrocatalysis is discussed.

Abstract
Electrochemical biosensors offer the promise of exceptional scalability and parallelizability. To achieve this promise, however, will require the development of new methods for the differential labeling of closely spaced electrodes with specific biomolecules such as DNA or proteins. Here we report a simple, highly selective method for passivating and differentially labeling closely separated gold electrodes with oligonucleotides or other biomolecules. Analogous to photolithography, where a light-sensitive resist is selectively removed to expose specific surfaces to further modification, we passivate gold electrodes with a self-assembled alkanethiol monolayer that protects them from modification. The monolayer is then electrochemically desorbed at relatively low potentials, allowing for the subsequent labeling of the now exposed array element with a specific sensing biomolecule. The observed passivation is highly efficient: using a C11-OH monolayer as the passivating agent, we do not observe any detectable cross-contamination of adjacent electrodes (95 microm separation) upon labeling with a stem-loop DNA probe. Critically, the conditions employed are sufficiently gentle that depassivation reduces the DNA load on adjacent electrodes by only approximately 1%, allowing for the sequential labeling of multiple, closely spaced electrodes. This technology paves the way for labeling multiple array elements sequentially without observable cross-contamination in a fast and controlled manner.

Abstract
A novel method for the manufacturing of microchips for on-chip combinations of electrochemistry (EC) and sheathless electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) is described. The technique, which does not require access to clean-room facilities, is based on the incorporation of an array of gold microcoil electrodes into a poly(dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS) microflow channel equipped with an integrated graphite based sheathless ESI emitter. Electrochemical measurements, which were employed to determine the electroactive area of the electrodes and to test the microchips, show that the manufacturing process was reproducible and that the important interelectrode distance in the electrochemical cell could to be adequately controlled. The EC-ESI-MS device was evaluated based on the ESI-MS detection of the oxidation products of dopamine. The results demonstrate that the present on-chip approach enables full potentiostatic control of the electrochemical cell and the attainment of very short transfer times between the electrochemical cell and the electrospray emitter. The transfer times were 0.6 and 1.2 s for flow rates of 1.0 and 0.5 microL min(-1), respectively, while the electrochemical conversion efficiency of the electrochemical cell was found to be 30% at a flow rate of 0.5 microL min(-1). To decouple the electrochemical cell from the ESI-MS high voltage and to increase the user-friendliness, the on-line electrochemistry-ESI-MS experiments were performed using a wireless Bluetooth battery-powered instrument with the chip floating at the potential induced by the ESI high voltage. The described on-chip EC-ESI-MS device can be used for fundamental electrochemical investigations as well as for applications based on the use of electrochemically controlled sample pretreatment, preconcentration and ionisation steps prior to ESI-MS.

Abstract
The major developments and applications related to CE-MS over the last two years (2003-2004) and most of the reviews and applications found in the ISI Web of Science and publisher data bases are presented in a tabulated way. This article complements our previous review "Capillary electrophoresis - mass spectrometry: 15 years of developments and applications", Electrophoresis, 2003, 24, 3837-3867 for the last two years 2003-2004. All cited articles were analyzed in a way to illustrate (i) in which journals CE-MS-related papers were mostly found over the last decades and (ii) which commercial CE-, MS-instrumentations or CE-MS combinations were mostly used in the European, Asian, and American continent. Additionally, like it was done in our last review, the reader will rapidly find applications classified as forensics, environment, bioanalytics, pharmaceutics, and metabolites.

Abstract
Electrochemically controlled solid-phase extractions of anions were interfaced on-line to electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), using polypyrrole coated electrodes and a thin-layer electrochemical (EC) flow cell. The results indicate that electrochemically controlled solid-phase extraction (EC-SPE) can be used as a versatile potential controlled sample preparation technique for a range of anions and that the properties of the polypyrrole coatings can be modified by altering the electrodeposition conditions. In the present study, the influence of interfering anions (i.e., fluoride and sulfate), and the anion used during the electropolymerisation, on the bromide extraction recovery was investigated for EC-SPE interfaced to ICP-MS. The results of these experiments show that the interference due to the presence of similar concentrations of sulfate can be reduced when using a polypyrrole coating electropolymerised in the presence of bromide ions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements were also used to study the morphology of the coatings, as well as the variations in the film thickness within the coatings. The effect of different desorption techniques on the bromide preconcentration factor in the ICP-MS on-line flow system was also examined. Stopped-flow desorption was found to give rise to significantly increased preconcentration factors in comparison with desorptions in flowing solutions. While the desorption efficiency depends on the type of desorption electrolyte (the electrolyte in which the desorption takes place), due to the competing influx of cations, the influence of the pH on the switching charge of the polypyrrole coating was found to be small, at constant ionic strength. To study the applicability of the EC-SPE technique with respect to real samples, investigations were also made with tap water samples spiked with different bromide concentrations. The results of these experiments, which were carried out using a modified thin-layer EC flow cell allowing in situ polymerisation of polypyrrole yielding a polymer plug covering the cross section of the channel, demonstrate that 3 microM concentrations of bromide could be detected in the tap water sample. This demonstrates that the extraction technique allows extractions of low concentrations of ions in the presence of significantly higher concentrations of other similar ions. The fact that the extraction and desorption steps are electrochemically controlled makes EC-SPE particularly well suited for inclusion in miniaturised lab-on-a-chip systems.

Abstract
During the last few years there has been a rapid increase in the use of electrochemical reactions in lab-on-a-chip devices. This development, which has so far mainly focussed on electrochemical detection in chip-based capillary electrophoresis, can be explained by the fact that electrochemical techniques and devices are particularly well-suited for inclusion in lab-on-a-chip systems. The most important reason for this is that the required electrodes can readily be manufactured and miniaturised without loss of analytical performance using conventional microfabrication methods. In this Research Highlight article, the developments during the last three years concerning electrochemical techniques for lab on-a-chip applications are discussed, with particular focus on emerging electrochemical methods for sample clean-up and preconcentration, electrochemical derivatisation and electrochemical detection in chip-based capillary electrophoresis.

Abstract
The structural rearrangements triggered by oxidation of the dinuclear Mn complex [Mn(2)(bpmp)(mu-OAc)2]+(bpmp = 2,6-bis[bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amino]methyl-4-methylphenol anion) in the presence of water have been studied by combinations of electrochemistry with IR spectroscopy and with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). The exchange of acetate bridges for water (D2O) derived ligands in different oxidation states could be monitored by mid-IR spectroscopy in CD(3)CN-D(2)O mixtures following the v(as(C-O)) bands of bound acetate at 1594.4 cm(-1)(II,II), 1592.0 cm(-1)(II,III) and 1586.5 cm(-1)(III,III). Substantial loss of bound acetate occurs at much lower water content (< 0.5% v/v) in the III,III state than in the II,II and II,III states (> or = 10%). The ligand-exchange reactions do not initially reduce the overall charge of the complex but facilitate further oxidation by proton-coupled electron transfer as the water-derived ligands are increasingly deprotonated in higher oxidation states. In the IR spectra deprotonation could be followed by the formation of acetic acid (DOAc, approximately 1725 cm(-1), v(C-O)) from the released acetate (1573.6 cm(-1), v(as(C-O))). By the on-line combination of an electrochemical flow cell with ESI-MS several product complexes could be identified. A di-mu-oxo bridged III,IV dimer [Mn(2)(bpmp)(mu-O)(2)](2+)(m/z 335.8) can be generated at potentials below the III,III/II,III couple of the di-mu-acetato complex (0.61 V vs. ferrocene). The ligand-exchange reactions allow for three metal-centered oxidation steps to occur from II,II to III,IV in a potential range of only 0.5 V, explaining the formation of a spin-coupled III,IV dimer by photo-oxidation with [Ru[bpy)(3)](3+) in previous EPR studies.
