Abstract

The basic principles of mass spectrometry (MS) have long been known. In 1912, for instance, Thomson used MS to demonstrate the existence of two neon isotopes. But it is only in the past two decades that MS has evolved into one of the most sensitive and reliable techniques for structural analysis of organic compounds. Progress in electronics, resulting in greater and more constant accuracy of instrumentation, together with proof that ionized organic compounds in the gaseous phase fragment uniquely according to their chemical structure, have led organic chemists to adopt and further develop the MS technique.
