Abstract
Novel software has been developed to aid the interpretation of tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) data from synthetic polymers. The software is particularly focused toward aiding the end-group determination of these materials by significantly speeding up the interpretation process. This allows information on the initiator and/or chain transfer agents, used to generate the polymer, and the mechanism of termination to be inferred from the data much more rapidly. The software allows the validity of hypothesized structures to be rapidly tested by automatically annotating the data file using previously proposed fragmentation rules for synthetic polymers. Low-energy collision-induced dissociation (CID) data from methacrylate, styrene, and polyether oligomers are used as example data for the software. Exact-mass CID information was used to aid the understanding of the dissociation mechanism of the polymers. The software can use exact-mass data to provide more confidence in the results. The MS/MS results indicate that the fragmentation pathways are those previously proposed for these polymers.
