The principle includes the ionization of the sample and
breaking of sample into small fragments or ions by various
technique( electron impact, chemical ionization etc).
Some of these are the positive ions, set of these ions are
separated and analyzed in such a way, signal is obtained for
each value of m/z or m/e (mass to charge ratio)
Ion source.

The sample introduction system basically depends upon the
physical state of the sample and several system must be
available if variety of sample are to be analyzed.

It is the type of hard ionization technique due the
high energy of Electron Impact.
14
The energetic electron beam is emitted by a
electrically heated tungsten or rhenium which are
then accelerated by the potential difference of 70eV.

EI is not appropriate for certain compounds due to
the excessive fragmentation

It operates at the atmospheric pressure.
21
It operates at atmospheric pressure.

A mixture of the analyte and the solvent i.e. a liquid
solution is first vaporized with the help of nebulizing gas
N2.

Due to these molecule are thus ionized in two ways

For polar molecules such as peptides with molecular
weight up to 10000 can be analyzed by soft ionization
technique called as Fast Atom Bombardment.

SECTOR ANALYZERS :
a) Magnetic field only - Single Focusing Mass Analyzer
36
The cations from the ion source are passed through a
magnet that is located outside the tube.
Only ions that match the small mass range reach the
detector .
38
By rearranging the equation and eliminating the
velocity term using the previous equations
r = mv/zB
Therefore,
m/z = B2r2/(2V) •
This equation shows that the m/z ratio of the ions
that reach the detector can be varied by changing
either the magnetic field (B) or the applied voltage of
the ion optics (V)
m/ z =B2 r2 /2V

The ion trap is a variation of the Quadrupole mass
filter, and consequently is sometimes refer to as a
Quadrupole Ion Trap.
47
K.E. = zV = 1/2 mv2
Solving for velocity (v)
v = (2zV/m)1/2

ICR is an ion trap that uses a magnetic field in order to
trap ions into an orbit inside of it.
50
Angular velocity of the ion perpendicular to the
magnetic field can be substituted here
ωc=v/r
zB=m ωc
ωc=zB/m
Frequency of the orbit depends on the charge and mass
of the ions, not the velocity. If the magnetic field is held
constant, the charge to mass ratio of each ion can be
determined by measuring the angular velocity ωc.

A negative value of u indicates the presence of hetero-
atoms in the molecule and a half-integer value
of u indicates the presence of an odd number of
nitrogen atoms.

Pattern of fragmentation of molecule depends
upon :
Energy of electron beam.
Temperature of ion source.
Pressure in the ion source.
Geometry of the molecule.

1. The relative height of the M+ peak is greatest for straight
chain molecules and decreases as the branching
increases.
2. The relative height of the M+ peak decreases with
increasing molecular weight.
3. Cleavage is favored at alkyl-substituted carbons, with the
probability of cleavage increasing as the substitution
increases.
These rules mostly arise from the fact that carbocation and
radical stability show the following trend:
Most Stable Benzylic > Allylic > Tertiary > Secondary
>>Primary Least Stable
“Stevenson’s Rule” At the point of breakage, the larger
fragment usually takes the radical to leave the smaller
cation.
69
4. Double bonds, cyclic structures, and especially
aromatic rings will stabilize the molecular ion and
increase its probability of appearance.
5. Double bonds favor Allylic cleavage to give a
resonance stabilized Allylic carbocation, especially
for cycloalkenes.
71
9. C-C bonds next to heteroatoms often break leaving
the positive charge on the carbon with the
heteroatom.
Base peak: The highest peak in the spectra is called the base
peak and its intensity is taken 100, and the height of
other peaks are measured with respect to base peak.
79
Rearrangement ion peak: Sometimes fragments of peak are
observed which are not a part of original molecule these
peak are formed due to rearrangement of molecule at
same instance of decomposition. In specific heteroatom
case the peak observed may be very intense.
