Collision cross section (CCS) measurements resulting from ion mobility–mass spectrometry (IM-MS) experiments provide a promising orthogonal dimension of structural information in MS-based analytical separations. As with any molecular identifier, interlaboratory standardization must precede broad range integration into workflows. In this study, we present reference drift tube mobility mass spectrometer (DTIM-MS) where improvements on the measurement accuracy experimental parameters...
Inner-shell photoelectron spectra of the N 1s level in N2 have been measured with sufficient resolution to resolve splitting between gerade and ungerade components. The selective enhancement component on σ shape resonance is clearly seen, confirming that resonant behavior mainly caused by σu channel. two components found be 97(3) meV.
The inner-shell photoionization of unoriented camphor molecules by circularly polarized light has been investigated from threshold to a photoelectron kinetic energy approximately 65 eV. Photoelectron spectra the carbonyl C 1s orbital, recorded at magic angle 54.7 degrees with respect propagation direction, show an asymmetry up 6% on change either photon helicity or molecular enantiomer. These observations reveal circular dichroism in resolved emission between forward and backward scattering...
Valence and C1s core level photoelectron spectra of gaseous alanine have been recorded with synchrotron radiation. Using ab initio Green's Function calculations the vertical outer valence ionization energies CMS-Xα orbital cross-sections, it is possible to account well for features both new hν = 92 eV spectrum also its differences an earlier 21.2 spectrum. Good agreement may be achieved by considering just contribution a single molecular conformation. This agrees previous experimental...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are often present in complex mixtures at trace levels environmental samples, posing difficulties for analytical chemists. Ion mobility offers highly replicable identifiers, enabling the use of community-based libraries PFAS annotation nontargeted analysis. Currently, limited software exists to leverage capabilities liquid chromatography ion high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-IM-HRMS) FluoroMatch IM is a free vendor-neutral open-source tool rapid...
Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is a powerful technique for structural identification of small molecules, yet significant portion MS/MS spectra from untargeted experiments remain unidentifiable through spectrum library matching. ModiFinder, computational tool, tackles this issue by predicting the site chemical modifications on known analogs unidentified compounds using data. However, ModiFinder's performance limited insufficient peak data and fragmentation annotation ambiguities. In study,...

Abstract There are thousands of different per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in everyday products the environment. Discerning abundance diversity PFAS is essential for understanding sources, fate, exposure routes, associated health impacts PFAS. While comprehensive detection requires use nontargeted mass spectrometry, data processing time intensive prone to error. automated approaches can compile all spectrometric evidence (e.g., retention time, isotopic pattern, fragmentation,...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widespread, persistent environmental contaminants that have been linked to various health issues. Comprehensive PFAS analysis often relies on ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC HRMS) molecular fragmentation (MS/MS). However, the selection of ions for MS/MS using data-dependent results in only topmost abundant being selected. To overcome these limitations, All Ions (AIF) can be used...
