[PMID: 38788385 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126305] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Revised: 05/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
A new racetrack field-asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (r-FAIMS) analyzer was developed in this study by combining the existing planar FAIMS (p-FAIMS) and cylindrical FAIMS (c-FAIMS). The ion inlet and outlet regions of r-FAIMS were consisted of a half of c-FAIMS, respectively, and these c-FAIMS were further connected by two p-FAIMS to form a racetrack shaped FAIMS. With such FAIMS working electrode configuration, the ions entering the r-FAIMS can be focused and separated in the first c-FAIMS section, be further separated in the p-FAIMS section with high-resolution, be focused and separated again in the final c-FAIMS section and eventually enter the mass spectrometer or other analyzers for analysis. Detailed simulation by using SIMION software with the default FAIMS user program showed that the ion focusing effect in the first c-FAIMS section ensures the ions entering the following p-FAIMS section as a compact ion packet. This effectively decreases the ion loss caused by Coulomb repulsion and thermal diffusion in p-FAIMS section as compared to the ions being introduced into the p-FAIMS gap randomly in the conventional design. As a result, the ion transmission efficiency of r-FAIMS is at least 3.3-fold higher than the single p-FAIMS under the operating conditions used in this study. The ion trajectory simulation results also showed that the resolving power of r-FAIMS is about the sum of the resolving powers for its c-FAIMS and p-FAIMS sections. The resolving power of r-FAIMS is at least 3.6-fold higher than the single c-FAIMS under the operation conditions used in this study. Therefore, the r-FAIMS can realize both high-resolution and high-sensitive ion mobility separation.

Effect of resolution enhancement using metal ion assisted strategy based on electrospray ionization-ion mobility spectrometry: A case study of carbendazim and thiabendazole in fruits. Talanta 2024; 267:125151. [PMID: 37672988 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125151] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2023] [Revised: 08/04/2023] [Accepted: 09/01/2023] [Indexed: 09/08/2023]
Abstract
A method for the rapid and simultaneous determination of carbendazim and thiabendazole residues by electrospray ionization-ion mobility spectrometry (ESI-IMS) combined with a metal ion-assisted technique was developed and validated in different fruit matrices. The metal ion assisted strategy was performed instead of tedious pre-separation procedures to overcome the limitation of low resolution of IMS. Four transition metal cations, Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II), were screened and their interactions with carbendazim and thiabendazole were investigated. The injection flow rate and metal ion concentration were optimized. The Cu(II) assisted approach helped to achieve well-separated peaks with a peak-to-peak resolution of 3.61. This method was then applied to detect carbendazim and thiabendazole simultaneously in apples, pears, bananas, and mangoes. The limit of detection (LOD) were 0.03 mg kg-1 and 0.13 mg kg-1 for carbendazim and thiabendazole, respectively, while spiked recoveries were 61.5-122.0% and 83.5-119.8%, respectively, with RSDs less than 13.9%. These satisfactory evaluation parameters indicated that the approach was capable of performing quantitative analysis of multi-pesticide residues. In addition, the feasibility of using metal ion assisted-ESI-IMS for the simultaneous detection also was theoretically demonstrated through molecular electrostatic potential analysis and binding energy calculation based on density functional theory (DFT). Both experimental and theoretical results revealed the effectiveness of the metal ion assisted strategy in improving the resolution of ESI-IMS.

Abstract
While numerous studies have focused on the impact of chirality on some magic amino acid clusters, this article investigates the effects of steric isomerization using 4-hydroxyproline octamers as a model system. Through mass spectrometry, infrared photodissociation spectroscopy, and theoretical calculation, it was demonstrated that the cis-4-hydroxy-L-proline octamer can selectively cage potassium, rubidium, or caesium ions through stable cis-hydroxyl locks, while the trans-form cannot. The results highlight the importance of hydroxyl group orientation in designing biocompatible membrane transporters with high ion-selectivity.

Trapped ion mobility mass spectrometry of new psychoactive substances: Isomer-specific identification of ring-substituted cathinones. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1264:341276. [PMID: 37230720 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341276] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2023] [Revised: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/23/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
New psychoactive substances (NPS) are synthetic derivatives of illicit drugs designed to mimic their psychoactive effects. NPS are typically not controlled under drug acts or their legal status depends on their molecular structure. Discriminating isomeric forms of NPS is therefore crucial for forensic laboratories. In this study, a trapped ion mobility spectrometry time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TIMS-TOFMS) approach was developed for the identification of ring-positional isomers of synthetic cathinones, a class of compounds representing two-third of all NPS seized in Europe in 2020. The optimized workflow features narrow ion-trapping regions, mobility calibration by internal reference, and a dedicated data-analysis tool, allowing for accurate relative ion-mobility assessment and high-confidence isomer identification. Ortho-, meta- and para-isomers of methylmethcathinone (MMC) and bicyclic ring isomers of methylone were assigned based on their specific ion mobilities within 5 min, including sample preparation and data analysis. The resolution of two distinct protomers per cathinone isomer added to the confidence in identification. The developed approach was successfully applied to the unambiguous assignment of MMC isomers in confiscated street samples. These findings demonstrate the potential of TIMS-TOFMS for forensic case work requiring fast and highly-confident assignment cathinone-drug isomers in confiscated samples.

Abstract
A high-performance field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS)-IMS-MS platform was developed and applied to explore the conformational diversity of the singly and doubly charged bradykinin (BK + H+)+ and (BK + 2H+)2+ ions. With pure N2 as the FAIMS carrier gas, more than ten conformers of (BK + H+)+ can be resolved using FAIMS-IMS, as compared to only four conformers resolved using either FAIMS or IMS alone. Interestingly, multiple conformers of (BK + H+)+ were found to have completely different values of FAIMS compensation voltage (CV), while their IMS drift times were essentially the same, which were also proven experimentally to not result from the structural annealing by the collisional heating in the ion funnel. The separations in the FAIMS and IMS dimensions are substantially orthogonal, and the overall resolving power of two-dimensional FAIMS-IMS separation is largely proportional to the product of the separation resolving powers of FAIMS and IMS. Using a gas mixture of N2/He to further improve the resolving power of the FAIMS separation, the total resolving powers of the combined FAIMS and IMS separation were estimated to be about 1020 and 1400 for (BK + H+)+ and (BK + 2H+)2+ ions, respectively, which are significantly higher than the resolving power of any ion mobility-based separation techniques demonstrated so far. The combined FAIMS-IMS can thus be a much more powerful technique to explore the structural diversity of biomolecules.

The chirality determination of amino acids by forming complexes with cyclodextrins and metal ions using ion mobility spectrometry, and a DFT calculation. Talanta 2022; 243:123363.

Abstract
Chiral recognition is of highly interest in the areas of chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and bioscience. An effective strategy of enantiomeric determination of amino acids (AAs) was developed in this work. All 19 natural AAs enantiomers can be easily distinguished by ion mobility-mass spectrometry of the non-covalent complexes of AAs with cyclodextrins (α-CD, β-CD and γ-CD) and Mg2+ without any chemical derivatization. Differences of the mobilities between the enantiomers' complexes is from 0.006 to 0.058 V s/cm2. In addition, the complex of [β-CD + Phe + Mg]2+ was selected as an example to study the relative quantification by measuring L/D-Phe at different molar ratio of 10:1 to 1:10 in the μM range, resulting in a good linearity (R2 > 0.99) and high sensitivity at 2 μM. A DFT calculation was also performed to illustrate the detailed molecular structure of the complexes of CDs, Mg2+ and D- or L-Phe. Both experiment and theoretical calculation showed that Mg2+ plays an important role in host/guest interactions, which changed the molecular conformations by non-covalent interaction between Mg2+ and CDs, and resulted in the different collision cross-sections of the complex ions of CDs, Mg2+ and D- or L-AAs in the gas phase. This effective and convenient strategy could potentially be utilized in scientific research and industry for routine enantiomeric determination of natural AAs, peptides and some other small chiral biomolecules such as non-natural AAs and carboxylic acid-containing drugs.

Abstract
RATIONALE Field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) has a great potential to become a portable technology for rapid detection of chemical and biological agents. However, the ion current signals, measured at the exit of the planar FAIMS directly, may contain different types of noises. The peak information in the FAIMS spectrum, such as the compensation voltage (CV) value at the maximum peak intensity (CVP ) and the peak width at half maximum (Wh ), could not be accurately determined under the weak signal condition, which significantly limits the achievable instrument sensitivity, and there are no existing solutions to the problem. METHODS This study analyzed the noise type of FAIMS signal in detail, and three different signal processing algorithms, such as median filtering (MF), discrete wavelet transform (DWT), and zero-phase digital filtering (ZDF), were evaluated for their performance in denoising the FAIMS signal. RESULTS The results show that the standard deviation of CVp obtained from the signal denoised using ZDF algorithm is at least 31.82% smaller as compared to using MF and DWT algorithms. The standard deviation of Wh is at least 45.45% smaller using ZDF algorithm. Moreover, only ZDF algorithm can keep the percentage error for the CV value of the denoised signal to be within 0.50 ± 0.47% of the true CV value, implying the effectiveness of ZDF algorithm in denoising while retaining the integrity of the signal. CONCLUSIONS The ZDF algorithm greatly reduces the analyte peak extraction error and improves the limit of detection in FAIMS measurements.

Abstract
Carbohydrates are an indispensable part of early life evolution. The determination of their structures is a key step to analyze their critical roles in biological systems. A variation of composition, glycosidic linkage, and (or) configuration between carbohydrate isomers induces structure diversity and brings challenges for their structural determination. Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS), an emerging gas-phase ion separation technology, has been considered as a promising tool for performing carbohydrate structure elucidation. In this work, eight disaccharides were analyzed by trapped ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (TIMS-MS) in the negative ion mode as the complexed form of [M + X]-, where M = disaccharide, and X = Cl, Br, and I. As compared to the positive ion analysis of the selected disaccharide in a sodiated form, a reversal charge state provided the ability to eliminate or even reverse the collision cross section (CCS) difference between disaccharide isomers. By the combination of TIMS analysis and the calculation of density functional theory, the only observed two conformers of ions [lactulose + I]- may result from different adduction sites for an iodide anion. Based on the comparison of different halogen adducts, the [M + I]- ion form exhibited more powerful ability for isomeric disaccharide differentiation with an average resolution (RP-P) of 1.17, which results in a 34.5% improvement as compared to the corresponding chloride adducts. This result indicates that the use of negative charge states, especially the complexation of an iodide anion, could be a supplemental strategy to commonly used positive ion analysis for carbohydrate separation.

Abstract
Molecular characterization of compounds present in highly complex mixtures such as petroleum is proving to be one of the main analytical challenges. Heavy fractions, such as asphaltenes, exhibit immense molecular and isomeric complexity. Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR MS) with its unequalled resolving power, mass accuracy and dynamic range can address the isobaric complexity. Nevertheless, isomers remain largely inaccessible. Therefore, another dimension of separation is required. Recently, ion mobility mass spectrometry has revealed great potential for isomer description. In this study, the combination of trapped ion mobility and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (TIMS-FTICR) is used to obtain information on the structural features and isomeric diversity of vanadium petroporphyrins present in heavy petroleum fractions. The ion mobility spectra provided information on the isomeric diversity of the different classes of porphyrins. The determination of the collision cross section (CCS) from the peak apex allows us to hypothesize about the structural aspects of the petroleum molecules. In addition, the ion mobility signal full width at half maximum (FWHM) was used as a measure for isomeric diversity. Finally, theoretical CCS determinations were conducted first on core structures and then on alkylated petroporphyrins taking advantage of the linear correlation between the CCS and the alkylation level. This allowed the proposal of putative structures in agreement with the experimental results. The authors believe that the presented workflow will be useful for the structural prediction of real unknowns in highly complex mixtures.

Abstract
AbstractCrown ethers with different ring sizes and substituents (18-crown-6, dibenzo-18-crown-6, dicyclohexano-18-crown-6, a chiral tetracarboxylic acid-18-crown-6 ether, dibenzo-21-crown-7, and dibenzo-30-crown-10) were evaluated as shift reagents to differentiate epimeric model peptides (tri-and tetrapeptides) using ion mobility mass spectrometry (IM-MS). The stable associates of peptide epimers with crown ethers were detected and examined using traveling-wave ion mobility time-of-flight mass spectrometer (Synapt G2-S HDMS) equipped with an electrospray ion source. The overall decrease of the epimer separation upon crown ether complexation was observed. The increase of the effectiveness of the microsolvation of a basic moiety - guanidine or ammonium group in the peptide had no or little effect on the epimer discrimination. Any increase of the epimer separation, which referred to the specific association mode between crown substituents and a given peptide sequence, was drastically reduced for the longer peptide sequence (tetrapeptide). The obtained results suggest that the application of the crown ethers as shift reagents in ion mobility mass spectrometry is limited to the formation of complexes differing in stoichiometry rather than it refers to a specific coordination mode between a crown ether and a peptide molecule.

Abstract
Hydroxyproline is a common variation of proline, with diverse biological roles. The hydroxylation of proline gives rise to several (natural and/or synthetic) isomeric forms, including both positional isomers and stereoisomers. While mass spectrometry is widely touted as a very selective analytical technique, the identification of closely related isomers often poses a challenge. In these cases, allied technologies become helpful in providing full characterization. Here, infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy is used to differentiate between three isomers, namely cis-3-hydroxyproline, cis-4-hydroxyproline, and trans-4-hydroxyproline. In contrast to the protonated species which show only minor variations in their IRMPD spectra, lithiated species were found to display significant spectral differences, making their differentiation more straightforward. The conformational origin of these spectral differences was investigated by complementary quantum-chemical calculations.

Abstract
The use of differential mobility spectrometry (DMS) as a separation tool prior to mass analysis has increased in popularity over the years. However, the fundamental principles behind the difference between high- and low-field mobility is still a matter of debate-especially regarding the strong impact of solvent molecules added to the gas phase in chemically modified DMS environments. In this contribution, we aim to present a thorough model for the determination of the ion mobility over a wide range of field strengths and subsequent calculation of DMS dispersion plots. Our model relies on first principle calculations only, incorporating the modeling of the "hard-sphere" mobility, the change in CCS with field strength, and the degree of clustering of solvent molecules to the ion. We show that all three factors have to be taken into account to qualitatively predict dispersion plots. In particular, type A behavior (i.e., strong clustering) in DMS can only be explained by a significant change of the mean cluster size with field strengths. The fact that our model correctly predicts trends between differently strong binding solvents, as well as the solvent concentration and the background gas temperature, highlights the importance of clustering for differential mobility.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection results in more than two million deaths per year and is the leading cause of mortality in people infected with HIV. A new structural class of antimycobacterials, the diarylquinolines, has been synthesized and is being highly effective against both M. tuberculosis and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. As diarylquinolines are biologically active only under their ( R,S) stereoisomeric form, it is essential to differentiate the stereoisomers ( R,S) and ( R,R). To achieve this, tandem mass spectrometry and ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry have been performed with 10 diarylquinoline diastereomers couples. In this study, we investigated cationization with alkali metal cations and several ion mobility drift gases in order to obtain diastereomer differentiations. We have shown that diastereomers of the diarylquinolines family can be differentiated separately by tandem mass spectrometry and in mixture by ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry. However, although the structure of each diastereomer is close, several behaviors could be observed concerning the cationization and the ion mobility spectrometry separation. The ion mobility spectrometry isomer separation efficiency is not easily predictable; it was however observed for all diastereomeric couples with a significant improvement of separation using alkali adducts compared to protonated molecules. With the use of drift gas with higher polarizability only an improvement of separation was obtained in a few cases. Finally, a good correlation of the experimental collision cross section (relative to three-dimensional structure of ions) and the theoretical collision cross section has been shown.

Abstract
Ion mobility-mass spectrometry is a useful tool in separation of biological isomers, including clinically relevant analytes such as 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25OHD3) and its epimer, 3-epi-25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (epi25OHD3). Previous research indicates that these epimers adopt different gas-phase sodiated monomer structures, either the "open" or "closed" conformer, which allow 25OHD3 to be readily resolved in mixtures. In the current work, alternative metal cation adducts are investigated for their relative effects on the ratio of "open" and "closed conformers. Alkali and alkaline earth metal adducts caused changes in the 25OHD3 conformer ratio, where the proportion of the "open" conformer generally increases with the size of the metal cation in a given group. As such, the ratio of the "open" conformer, which is unique to 25OHD3 and absent for its epimer, can be increased from approximately 1:1 for the sodiated monomer to greater than 8:1 for the barium adduct. Molecular modeling and energy calculations agree with the experimental results, indicating that the Gibbs free energy of conversion from the "closed" to the "open" conformation decreased with increasing cation size, correlating with the variation in ratio between the conformers. This work demonstrates the effect of cation adducts on gas-phase conformations of small, flexible molecules and offers an additional strategy for resolution of clinically relevant epimers.

Abstract
Despite often minute concentrations in vivo, d-amino acid containing peptides (DAACPs) are crucial to many life processes. Standard proteomics protocols fail to detect them as d/l substitutions do not affect the peptide parent and fragment masses. The differences in fragment yields are often limited, obstructing the investigations of important but low abundance epimers in isomeric mixtures. Separation of d/l-peptides using ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) was impeded by small collision cross section differences (commonly ∼1%). Here, broad baseline separation of DAACPs with up to ∼30 residues employing trapped IMS with resolving power up to ∼340, followed by time-of-flight mass spectrometry is demonstrated. The d/l-pairs coeluting in one charge state were resolved in another, and epimers merged as protonated species were resolved upon metalation, effectively turning the charge state and cationization mode into extra separation dimensions. Linear quantification down to 0.25% proved the utility of high resolution IMS-MS for real samples with large interisomeric dynamic range. Very close relative mobilities found for DAACP pairs using traveling-wave IMS (TWIMS) with different ion sources and faster IMS separations showed the transferability of results across IMS platforms. Fragmentation of epimers can enhance their identification and further improve detection and quantification limits, and we demonstrate the advantages of online mobility separated collision-induced dissociation (CID) followed by high resolution mass spectrometry (TIMS-CID-MS) for epimer analysis.

Abstract
Ion mobility coupled with mass spectrometry was proven to be an efficient way to characterize complex mixtures such as petroleum samples. However, the identification of isomeric species is difficult owing to the molecular complexity of petroleum and no availability of standard molecules. This paper proposes a new simple indicator to estimate the isomeric content of highly complex mixtures. This indicator is based on the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the extracted ion mobility peak measured in millisecond or square angstrom that is corrected for instrumental factors such as ion diffusion. This value can be easily obtained without precisely identifying the number of isomeric species under the ion mobility peaks. Considering the Boduszynski model, the ion mobility profile for a particular elemental composition is expected to be a continuum of various isomeric species. The drift time-dependent fragmentation profile was studied and confirmed this hypothesis, a continuous evolution of the fragmentation profile showing that the larger alkyl chain species were detected at higher drift time values. This new indicator was proven to be a fast and efficient method to compare vacuum gas oils for which no difference was found using other analytical techniques. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.

Experimental results revealed two distinct drift species for the 25OHD3 sodiated monomer, whereas only one of these conformations was observed for its epimer (epi25OHD3). The unique species allowed 25OHD3 to be readily distinguished, and the same pattern was observed for 25OHD2 epimers. Theoretical modeling of 25OHD3 epimers identified energetically stable gas-phase structures, indicating that both compounds may adopt a compact "closed" conformation, but that 25OHD3 may also adopt a slightly less energetically favorable "open" conformation that is not accessible to its epimer. Calculated theoretical collision cross-sections for these structures agreed with experimental results to <2%. Experimentation indicated that additional energy in the ESI source (i.e., increased temperature, spray voltage) affected the ratio of 25OHD3 conformations, with the less energetically favorable "open" conformation increasing in relative intensity. Finally, LC-IM-MS results yielded linear quantitation of 25OHD3, in the presence of the epimer interference, at biologically relevant concentrations. This study demonstrates that ion mobility can be used in tandem with theoretical modeling to determine structural differences that contribute to drift separation. These separation capabilities provide potential for rapid (<60 ms) identification of 25OHD3 and 25OHD2 in mixtures with their epimers. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.

Abstract
With the growth of the pharmaceutical industry, structural elucidation of drugs and derivatives using tandem mass spectrometry (MS2) has become essential for drug development and pharmacokinetics studies because of its high sensitivity and low sample requirement. Thus, research seeking to understand fundamental relationships between fragmentation patterns and precursor ion structures in the gas phase has gained attention. In this study, we investigate the fragmentation of the widely used anticancer drugs, doxorubicin (DOX), vinblastine (VBL), and vinorelbine (VRL), complexed by a singly charged proton or alkali metal ion (Li+, Na+, K+) in the gas phase. The drug-cation complexes exhibit distinct fragmentation patterns in tandem mass spectra as a function of cation size. The trends in fragmentation patterns are explicable in terms of structures derived from ion mobility mass spectrometry (IM-MS) and theoretical calculations. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.

Abstract
Ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) has recently seen increased use in the analysis of small molecules, especially in the field of metabolomics, for increased breadth of information and improved separation of isomers. In this study, steroid epimers androsterone and trans-androsterone were analyzed with IM-MS to investigate differences in their relative mobilities. Although sodiated monomers exhibited very similar collision cross-sections (CCS), baseline separation was observed for the sodiated dimer species (RS = 1.81), with measured CCS of 242.6 and 256.3 Å2, respectively. Theoretical modeling was performed to determine the most energetically stable structures of solution-phase and gas-phase monomer and dimer structures. It was revealed that these epimers differ in their preferred dimer binding mode in solution phase: androsterone adopts a R=O - Na+ - OH-R' configuration, whereas trans-androsterone adopts a R=O - Na+ - O=R' configuration. This difference contributes to a significant structural variation, and subsequent CCS calculations based on these structures relaxed in the gas phase were in agreement with experimentally measured values (ΔCCS ~ 5%). Additionally, these calculations accurately predicted the relative difference in mobility between the epimers. This study illustrates the power of combining experimental and theoretical results to better elucidate gas-phase structures. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.

Abstract
Ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) is often employed to look at the secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures of naked peptides and proteins in the gas-phase. Recently, it has offered a unique glimpse into proline-containing peptides and their cis/trans Xxx-Pro isomers. An experimental "signature" has been identified wherein a proline-containing peptide has its Pro residues substituted with another amino acid and the presence or absence of conformations in the IM-MS spectra is observed. Despite the high probability that one could attribute these conformations to cis/trans isomers, it is also possible that cis/trans isomers are not the cause of the additional conformations in proline-containing peptides. However, the experimental evidence of such a system has not been demonstrated or reported. Herein, we present the IM-MS analysis of Neuropeptide Y's wild-type (WT) signal sequence and Leu7Pro (L7P) mutant. Although comparison of arrival times and collision cross-sections of [M + 4H](4+) ions yields the cis/trans "signature", molecular dynamics indicates that a cis-Pro7 is not very stable and that trans-Pro7 conformations of the same cross-section arise with equal frequency. We believe that this work further underscores the importance of theoretical calculations in IM-MS structural assignments.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS)-based multi-omic measurements, including proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics, and glycomics, are increasingly transforming our ability to characterize and understand biological systems. Multi-omic analyses and the desire for comprehensive measurement coverage presently have limitations due to the chemical diversity and range of abundances of biomolecules in complex samples. Advances addressing these challenges increasingly are based upon the ability to quickly separate, react and otherwise manipulate sample components for analysis by MS. Here we report on a new approach using Structures for Lossless Ion Manipulations (SLIM) to enable long serpentine path ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) separations followed by MS analyses. This approach provides previously unachieved resolution for biomolecular species, in conjunction with more effective ion utilization, and a basis for greatly improved characterization of very small sample sizes.

Abstract
A novel multistage MS approach, insource collision-induced dissociation (CID) combined with Time Aligned Parallel (TAP) fragmentation, was established to study the fragmentation behavior of polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs), which could provide a more reliable fragmentation relationship between precursor and daughter ions. The diagnostic ions for different subtypes of PPAPs and their fragmentation behaviors have been summarized. Moreover, a new and reliable multidimensional analytical workflow that combines ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), data-independent mass spectrometry (MS(E)), and tandem MS with ion mobility (IM) has been optimized and established for the analysis of PPAPs in the plant Garcinia oblongifolia by diagnostic filtering. Diagnostic fragment ions were used to selectively screen PPAPs from extracts, whereas IM coupled to MS was used to maximize the peak capacity. Under the optimized UHPLC-IM-MS(E) and UHPLC-IM-MS/MS method, 140 PPAPs were detected from the crude extract of G. oblongifolia, and 10 of them were unambiguously identified by comparing them to the reference compounds. Among those PPAPs, 7 pairs of coeluting isobaric PPAPs that were indistinguishable by conventional UHPLC-HRMS alone, were further resolved using UHPLC-IM-MS. It is anticipated that the proposed method will be extended to the rapid screening and characterization of the other targeted or untargeted compounds, especially these coeluting isomers in complex samples.

Abstract
The number of separations and analyses of molecular species using traveling wave ion-mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (TWIMS-MS) is increasing, including those extending the technique to analytes containing metal atoms. A critical aspect of such applications of TWIMS-MS is the validity of the collisional cross sections (CCSs) measured and whether they can be accurately calibrated against other ion-mobility spectrometry (IMS) techniques. Many metal containing species have potential reactivity toward molecular nitrogen, which is present in high concentration in the typical Synapt-G2 TWIMS cell. Here, we analyze the effect of nitrogen on the drift time of a series of cationic 1,10-phenanthroline complexes of the late transition metals, [(phen)M](+), (M = Ni, Pd, Pt, Cu, Ag, Au, Zn, Cd, and Hg) in order to understand potential deviations from expected drift time behaviors. These metal complexes were chosen for their metal open-coordination site and lack of rotameric species. The target species were generated via electrospray ionization (ESI), analyzed using TWIMS in N2 drift gas, and the observed drift time trends compared. Theoretically derived CCSs for all species (via both the projection approximation and trajectory method) were also compared. The results show that, indeed, for metal containing species in this size regime, reaction with molecular nitrogen has a dramatic effect on measured drift times and must not be ignored when comparing and interpreting TWIMS arrival time distributions. Density-functional theory (DFT) calculations are employed to analyze the periodic differences due to the metal's interaction with nitrogen (and background water) in detail.
