Abstract
This tutorial book explains principles of mass spectrometry (such as ionization of molecules, fragmentation of ions, separation of ions, construction of mass spectrometers) and methods of ionization (electron impact, chemical, electrospray, fast atom bombardment, laser, etc.). It discusses inlet systems and mass analyzers. Special chapters are devoted to the ion types in mass spectrometry and to the use of isotopes in the mass spectral investigation. Emphasis is made on the theory of electron impact (EI) mass spectrometry and on the fragmentation pathways of organic compounds under EI.The book contains 9 chapters. Each chapter includes exercises for self-examination.Citation
