Ch14.3 Mass Spectrometry Feeling chil-laxing! 1 Mass Spectrometry (MS) A Mass Spectrometry (MS) is the study of the interaction between matter and an energy source other than electromagnetic radiation. Mass spectrometry is used primarily to determine the molecular weight and molecular formula of a compound (David Klein, Organic Chemistry. 2 nd ed) Electron Impact Ionization , This technique involves bombarding a sample molecule with a high energy electron (70 eV, 6,694.4 kJ/mol) to break the molecule into fragment. The masses per charge ( m/z ) of each fragment is measured and the information is used to reconstruct the structure of the molecule. Mass Spectrometer
Ch14.3 Mass Spectrometry Feeling chil-laxing! 2 Molecular ion (M + ): the radical cation corresponding to the mass of the __________________________. Fragments: the ions of smaller molecular weights. Relative abundance: Relative amount of each species. Base peak: the species that has the highest relative abundance (100%). Information in Mass Spectrum (1) M + peak - Molecular weight - Nitrogen Rule - Rule of Thirteen (2) M+2 peak: Br and Cl (3) Fragmentation Pattern
Ch14.3 Mass Spectrometry Feeling chil-laxing! 3 (1) Use M + peak to Distinguish Compounds Practice#1 Match each of the following compound to its mass spectrum Concept-test How would you distinguish each of the following pairs using mass spectrometry? (a) (b)

Ch14.3 Mass Spectrometry Feeling chil-laxing! 4 M + is not always the base peak Stevenson’s rule: The more stable fragments (carbocation and radical) have higher percent abundance. The Nitrogen Rule When the number of nitrogen atoms present in the molecule is ________ , the molecular mass will be an __________ number When the number of nitrogen atoms present in the molecule is ________ (zero = even), the molecular mass will be an ________ number.
Ch14.3 Mass Spectrometry Feeling chil-laxing! 5 Practice#2 For each of the following compounds, use the Nitrogen Rule to determine whether the molecular weight should be even or odd. Then calculate the expected m/z value of the molecular ion (M + ) The Isotopes of Carbon and Hydrogen and The M+1 Peak
