Infrared Spectroscopy of Protonated Cyclen

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Infrared multiple-photon dissociation spectra were recorded on products isolated in a Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance (FTICR) ion trap mass spectrometer. Protonated cyclen (nominal m/z = 173) was produced via electrospray ionization of 1 mM solutions of cyclen (Sigma-Aldrich, 97% purity) in 1 : 1 water/methanol, with added formic acid. The ions are pulse injected into the ICR cell, for isolation and subsequent irradiation with the infrared laser. Multiple-photon absorption at infrared wavelengths in resonance with the vibrational modes of the ion leads to fragmentation. The IRMPD spectrum was constructed by monitoring the total fragment yield as a function of the wavenumber of the radiation. 41 The yield was linearly corrected for the frequency-dependent IR laser pulse energy. Two laser sources were employed to irradiate the ions, namely an OPO/A laser system (optical parametric oscillator/amplifier, 90 pulses irradiation, 4-20 mJ per pulse, bandwidth 3 cm À1 ) for the range 2300-3600 cm À1 , and the free-electron laser FELIX (40 pulses irradiation, 20-70 mJ per pulse, bandwidth 0.5%) for the range 700-1900 cm À1 . 42 To compensate for the lower pulse energy of the OPO/A (as compared to FELIX) and increase the on-resonance dissociation yield, the ions were irradiated for 12 ms with the output of a 30 W continuous wave CO 2 laser directly after each OPO/A pulse. 43

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
