Differentiating between large isomers and derivation of structural information by ion mobility spectrometry / mass spectrometry techniques

Ion mobility spectrometry/mass spectrometry (IMS/MS) techniques were successfully utilized to derive structural information and differentiate between large isomeric ions with up to 55 atoms. Three types of isomer were investigated: E/Z geometrical isomers of substituted olefins containing several electrophilic groups, keto-enol isomers, and positional isomers of both species. In every case, under the conditions of IMS ion source, ionization did not lead to isomerization of the compounds and their separate identities were retained. Mobility differences of the quasimolecular ions formed were related to the structure of the isomers, in terms of the assumed shape and dipole moment of the ion. The observed fragmentation patterns and the appearance of clustered ions helped verify the proposed structural differences and similarities between the isomers.
