Investigation of polymers in the mass spectrometer, 7. Pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of low molecular and high polymeric sulfanilami…

1975

A number of low molecular, monomeric and polymeric sulfanilamide derivatives, which have found interest as possibly selective antitumour agents, were investigated by pyrolysis-gas chromatography (GC)-mass spectrometry (MS). Thermal degradation mechanisms were studied using also direct polymer pyrolysis in the ion source of the mass spectrometer. Thermal degradation products as well as low molecular weight sulfanilamides and related model compounds were characterized in their fragmentation behaviour by low and high resolution electron impact and field desorption mass spectrometry. Thermal fragments of structural significance were found, and a differentiation of the low and high molecular sul…

Analysis of odour and taste problems in high-density polyethene

1998

Abstract The compounds that cause off-flavours in plastics, have been recognized mainly as carbonyl compounds (aldehydes, ketones and esters). They occur in low concentrations, and due to their low-threshold odour concentrations, their typical odours were identified. Most of these off-flavour compounds are volatile. Chemical analysis of smelling compounds requires a very sensitive method with a high-resolution capability. The analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in high density polyethene (HD-PE) granules and waters in which the granules have been shaken for 4 h, were carried out by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry–sniffing system (GC–MS–SNIFF) and by gas chromatography–fourier…

Concentration-dependent switch between chain association and dissociation of oppositely charged weak polyelectrolytes in solution

2019

Abstract Joint solutions of oppositely charged weak polyelectrolytes are considerably less studied than their strong counterparts; as a result, their thermodynamic understanding is still unsatisfactory. This shortcoming hampers the development of a general picture about the physical properties of these mixtures, which further hampers their use to design new materials. To close this gap, we investigate the ternary system ethanol/polyacid/polybase (polyacid: methacrylic acid containing copolymer; polybase: N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate containing terpolymer) with respect to its demixing and viscometric behavior. Complete homogeneity can only be reached if the total polymer concentration…

A theoretical determination of the electronic spectrum of Methylenecyclopropene

1996

The vertical electronic spectrum of methylenecyclopropene, the prototype of the nonalternant hydrocarbons known as fulvenes, has been studied using multiconfigurational second-order perturbation theory. The calculations comprise three valence states and the 3s, 3p, and 3d members of the Rydberg series converging to the first π ionization limit. Vertical excitation energies to three valence states are found at 4.13, 6.12, and 6.82 eV. The second of them corresponds to an excitation from the highest occupied σ orbital to a π* orbital, while the other two are π → π* excitations. The third transition gives rise to the most intense feature in the electronic spectrum. The results are rationalized…

Technical grade diethylene-triaminepentakis(methylenephosphonic acid) (I), dihexamethylene-triaminepentakis(methylenephosphonic acid) (II), ethylene-diaminetetrakis(methylenephosphonic acid) (III), hexamethylene-diaminetetrakis(methylenephosphonic acid) (IV), amino-tris(methylenephosphonic acid) (V), hydroxyethyl-aminobis(methylenephosphonic acid) (VI), 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid (VII), and 2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid (VIII) were characterized by ion trap mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization (ESI-ITMS). Using the negative ion mode and acid and alkaline media, peak series corresponding to the nominal compounds and to impurities with a lower number of p…

Direct pyrolysis in the mass spectrometer of aromatic polysulfonates and polythiosulfonates

1978

The thermal degradation mechanism of three aromatic polysulfonates and polythiosulfonates was investigated by direct pyrolysis in the ion source of a mass spectrometer. Thermal degradation reactions were followed directly by this method by detecting the thermal and electron impact induced fragments. The results obtained have provided evidence that sulfur dioxide extrusion from the polymer backbone takes place in these polymers above 300°C. The synthesis and molecular characterization of the polymers studied are reported in the text.

Strukturuntersuchung von polyestern durch direkten abbau im massenspektrometer, 1. Polyester der terephthalsäure

1976

Die Abbaureaktionen von Poly(athylenterephthalat) (1a), Poly(tetradeuteroathylenterephthalat) (1b), Poly(trimethylenterephthalat) (1c) und Poly(tetramethylenterephthalat) (1d) im Massenspektrometer wurden untersucht. Hierzu wurden die Polymeren direkt in der Ionenquelle des Massenspektrometers pyrolysiert und die entstehenden thermischen Bruchstucke durch Elektronenstos ionisiert und fragmentiert. Die thermisch- und elektronenstosinduzierten Abbaureaktionen lassen sich nebeneinander nachweisen. Die untersuchten polymeren Terephthalate 1a–d folgen in beiden Abbauschritten den gleichen Mechanismen und konnen anhand ihrer Pyrolyse-Massenspektren unterschieden werden. The degradation reactions …

Studies in organic mass spectrometry. IV. Electron impact induced fragmentation of 2-substituted 3-(5-isoxazolyl)-4(3H)-quinazolinones of pharmaceuti…

1984

The fragmentation under electron impact of thirteen 2-substituted-3-(5-isoxazolyl)-4(3H)-quinazolinones has been investigated with the aid of metastable ion detection and high resolution measurements. Molecular ions are always abundant and the main primary fragmentation route involves acetonitrile elimination through isoxazole ring opening. The other common processes, particularly those leading to the abundant [R-C8H4N2]+ ion (b or b'), as well as those due to the nature of the 2-substituent are reported and discussed.

ChemInform Abstract: Mass Spectrometry of 3,4-Dihydroquinazolin-4-ones of Pharmaceutical Interest. Part 3. Electron Ionization Mass Spectra of 2-Subs…

2010

The fragmentation reactions induced by electron impact of eighteen title compounds has been investigated with the aid of low beam energy spectra (14 eV, nom. value), metastable ion detection, high resolution measurements and labelling experiments. The loss of the 4-carbonyl oxygen together with the 3-substituent, which constitutes a characteristic fragmentation route of 3-aryl and 3-heteroaromatic substituted-4(3H)-quinazolinones, is again observed, but the presence of a carboxyethyl group at the 4′-position of the pyrazole ring is responsible of an anomalous loss of 47 daltons from the molecular ion. Lastly, a comparison with the previously described behaviour of 3-(5′-isoxazolyl) derivati…
