E. B. Kujawinski, M. A. Freitas, X. Zang, P. G. Hatcher, K. B. Green-Church, and R. B. Jones., The application of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry to the structural characterization of natural organic matter., Organic Geochemistry, 33: 171-180, 2002
This report describes the application of electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry to the structural characterization of soil organic material, a critical component of environmental processes and the global carbon cycle. Quadrupole time-of-flight (QqTOF) mass spectrometry provided a routine screening of aqueous ions in humic and fulvic acid mixtures and MS/MS capabilities for selected ions. Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry required longer analysis time but achieved resolving powers >80,000 and mass accuracies of <1 ppm, which allowed exact molecular formula determination for selected peaks. This technique represents a significant advance in the identification of compounds within humic substances. |
