Under ESI conditions, the - ions of saponins were observed which provide the molecular weights of saponins. The fragment pathways of - ions of these two saponins depend on their structures. For steroidic saponins, - ion only produces the fragment ions by the losses of sugar units. For oleanolic saponins, - ion yields the cross ring ions as well as the fragment ions by the losses of sugar units. Moreover, the abundance of the former is higher than that of the latter. The characteristic fragments are used to provide the sequence and some linkage information of sugar moieties of saponins. Especially, their fragment difference strongly depends on the linkage between the aglycone and the sugar moieties.展开更多

For silver ion, two complexes( + and +) were obtained as well as the one complex ( +) for transition metal ions. Upon collision activation, there is an obvious difference in MS/MS data between metal ion complex and the protonated molecule. The fragment pathway of each complex is related to the structures of dipeptide and the nature of metal ion which suggest that there are several interaction between the metal ions and dipeptides in gas phase.展开更多
