Ion Structure And Energetics In The Gas Phase Characterized Using Fourier Transfom Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry, Chad A. Jones
Ion Structure And Energetics In The Gas Phase Characterized Using Fourier Transfom Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry, Chad A. Jones
Theses and Dissertations
In this dissertation, I use Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR-MS) to study the structure and energetics of gas phase ions. Infrared multiphoton dissociation spectroscopy (IRMPD) is a technique for measuring the IR spectrum of gas phase ions in a Penning trap. I use this technique to investigate the conformation of cucurbituril complexes, terminal diamines, and protonated amino acids. Cross sectional areas by Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (CRAFTI) is a technique developed by the Dearden lab to measure the cross section of gas phase ions. In this work, I further develop a fundamental understanding of …
