Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photon-induced ionization and fragmentation of N-methyl glycine (sarcosine) were investigated with infrared laser desorption/tunable synchrotron VUV photoionization mass spectrometry (IR LD/VUV PIMS) and theoretical calculations. Fragment-controllable mass spectra of sarcosine were measured at various photon energies. By tuning the photon energy, the fragments at m/z 44, 45, 43, 42, 30, and 60 were gradually detected. The ionization energy of the precursor was obtained by measuring the photoionization efficiency spectrum. Possible formation pathways of the fragment ions at m/z 44 (CH(3)NHCH(2)(+)), 45 (CH(3)NH(2)CH(2)(+)), 43 (CH(2)NHCH(2)(+)), 42 (CH(2)NCH(2)(+)), 30 (CH(2)NH(2)(+)), and 60 (CH(2)COOH(2)(+)) were discussed in detail with the help of calculations at the G3B3 and B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) levels.
