Rapid synthesis of phosphenium cations and detection of organic molecules in the gas phase
2017
The article provides a method to synthesize phosphonium cations
in the gas phase, and detect organic molecules by ion-molecule reactions.
The active diphenylphosphonium cations were generated from the collision
induced dissociation of methyltriphenylphosphonium cations by tandem
mass spectrometry. There were 10 different kinds of molecules selected
to make ion-molecule reaction with diphenylphosphonium cations, including
acetonitrile, formic acid, acrylonitrile, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, n -butanol, t -butanol, triethylamine, benzene,
and styrene. The detection of these 10 kinds of molecules and the
resolution of a pair of isomeric compounds n -butanol
and t -butanol were both achieved. By adjusting the
flow rate of molecules in a certain reaction time, different abundance
of product peaks will be obtained. The quantitative analysis of molecules
can be completed by making standard curves. This method is simple
and convenient. It also offers an approach to make research of the
gas phase reactivity of phosphonium cations.
