Mass spectrometry measures mass-to-charge ratios (m/z) of ions; determines molecular weight and fragment composition.
Trinn-for-trinn guide
- 1Input mass spectrum peaks and intensities
- 2Identify molecular ion, fragments, and base peak
- 3Determine molecular structure
Løste eksempler
Inndata
Molecular ion m/z = 88, base peak m/z = 73 (M-15, loss of CH₃)
Resultat
Suggests methyl group loss
Vanlige feil å unngå
- ✕Misidentifying molecular ion (not always M⁺)
- ✕Not accounting for isotope patterns
Ofte stilte spørsmål
What's base peak?
Most intense peak; usually stable fragment ion; useful for structure determination.
