质谱速查表Mass spectrometry — isotope patterns, fragments and losses
质谱仪把分子打成带正电的离子,按质荷比 m/z(离子带一个电荷时就是它的质量)分开记录。最右边的主要峰通常是分子离子峰 M⁺,给出相对分子质量;其右侧的 M+1、M+2 小峰来自 ¹³C、³⁷Cl、⁸¹Br 等重同位素;左侧的碎片峰说明分子从哪里断开。最高的那个峰叫基峰,强度定为 100%。
A mass spectrometer turns molecules into positive ions and records them by mass-to-charge ratio m/z (simply the mass for a singly charged ion). The main peak furthest right is usually the molecular ion M⁺, which gives the relative molecular mass; the small M+1 and M+2 peaks beside it come from heavier isotopes such as ¹³C, ³⁷Cl and ⁸¹Br; the fragment peaks to the left show where the molecule breaks. The tallest peak is the base peak, set to 100%.
读谱要点Reading a spectrum
碳原子数(M+1 峰):每个碳有 1.1% 的概率是 ¹³C,所以 n = 100 × [M+1] ÷ (1.1 × [M])。例:M⁺ 相对强度 20.0,M+1 为 0.88,则 n = 100 × 0.88 ÷ (1.1 × 20.0) = 4。
Number of carbons (M+1 peak): each carbon has a 1.1% chance of being ¹³C, so n = 100 × [M+1] ÷ (1.1 × [M]). Example: M⁺ 20.0, M+1 0.88 gives n = 100 × 0.88 ÷ (1.1 × 20.0) = 4.
氯和溴(M+2 峰):M+2 与 M 差不多高,说明有一个 Br;约为 M 的三分之一,说明有一个 Cl。两个卤素时再看 M+4(见下图)。
Chlorine and bromine (M+2 peak): an M+2 about as tall as M means one Br; about a third of M means one Cl. With two halogens look at M+4 as well (see the patterns below).
氮规则:只含 C、H、O、N、S、卤素的分子,相对分子质量为奇数时含奇数个 N,为偶数时含偶数个(或零个)N。
Nitrogen rule: for molecules containing only C, H, O, N, S and halogens, an odd relative molecular mass means an odd number of N atoms; an even mass means an even number (or none).
相对原子质量:由同位素峰计算加权平均。例:氯的两个峰 m/z 35 和 37,强度比 3 : 1,Ar = (35 × 3 + 37 × 1) ÷ 4 = 35.5。
Relative atomic mass: take the abundance-weighted mean of the isotope peaks. Example: chlorine peaks at m/z 35 and 37 in a 3 : 1 ratio give Ar = (35 × 3 + 37 × 1) ÷ 4 = 35.5.
碎片只记录带正电的那一半:M⁺ → X⁺ + Y•,看到的是 X⁺,丢掉的中性部分 Y 要从质量差推算。
Only the positively charged piece is detected: M⁺ → X⁺ + Y•. You see X⁺ and work out the lost neutral Y from the mass difference.
含卤素、硫时的同位素峰Isotope patterns of halogens and sulfur
M : M+2 ≈ 3 : 1 (³⁵Cl 75.8%, ³⁷Cl 24.2%)
M : M+2 ≈ 1 : 1 (⁷⁹Br 50.7%, ⁸¹Br 49.3%)
M : M+2 : M+4 ≈ 9 : 6 : 1
M : M+2 : M+4 ≈ 1 : 2 : 1
M : M+2 : M+4 ≈ 3 : 4 : 1
M+2 约为 M 的 4.4%(³⁴S 4.25%)
M+2 is about 4.4% of M (³⁴S 4.25%)
