Taking advantage of the nano-electrospray ionization source, polyvalent ions are usually produced in the ＂ionization＂ process and the obtained mass resolution of the equipment is over 8000. The molecular ion peaks of metal cluster compounds [Au20（PPhpy2）10Cl2]（SbF6）4, where PPhpy2=bis（2- pyridyl）phenylphosphine, and [AuaAg2（C）L6]（BF4）4, where L=2-（diphenylphosphino）-5- methylpyridine, are distinguished in the respective mass spectrum, accompanied by some fragment ion peaks. In addition, the mass-to-charge ratios of the parent ions are determi- nated. Preliminary results suggest that the device is a powerful tool for the study of metal cluster compounds. It turns out that the information obtained by the instrumentation serves as an essential supplement to single crystal X-ray diffraction for structure characterization of metal cluster compounds.展开更多

With the aid of the collision induced dissociation（CID）, FT-ICR provides not only precise mass/charge ratio, but also structure information of the selected peptides. The fragment ions were identified according to the observed molecular weights and peptide sequence was determined successfully. So Nano-ESI-FT-ICR-MSn is a useful tool for identification of the amino acid sequence of peptides with high confidence. Besides, a pathway for the dehydration of y ions without amino acids containing carboxylic acid under sustained off-resonance irradiation collision-induced dissociation（SORI-CID） condition was proposed.展开更多
