XYLENE ISOMER MASS SPECTRAL IDENTIFICATION THROUGH METAL ION CHEMISTRY IN AN FTICR

摘要

The ortho, meta, and para isomers of xylene are identified in a Fourier transform mass spectrometer by reactions with V+ and VO+, Each isomer reacts in a unique way with a mixture of the two ions, which enables isomer discrimination, The method is fast and does not require the use of internal standards.
