چکیده
This paper reports the first example of electrospray ion mobility spectrometry as a detection method for HPLC separation, demonstrating its potential for the quantitative and selective detection of non-volatile and non-chromophoric organic compounds. Reduced mobility constants (Ko) for 21 carbohydrates, including simple sugars, sugar alcohols and amino sugars, were determined to range from 0.68 to 1.37 cm 2 V-~ s j . Minimum detectable quantities were measured from as low as 5.8.10 1 4 mol for D(+)-cellobiose to as high as 8.2.10 ~ mol for L-iditol. A plot of carbohydrate mass with respect to inverse ion mobility indicated that, to a first approximation, mobility was inversely proportional to mass for most carbohydrates. However, in several cases, isomeric separation could be achieved by ion mobility spectrometry, demonstrating that ion mobility separation is based on size and shape of the molecule rather than molecular mass. Other notable exceptions to the mobility-mass relation were [~-D-maltose and D(+)-cellobiose, which exhibited significantly lower mobilities than expected, and maltoheptaose, which exhibited a significantly higher mobility than expected. Dimerization and multiple charges may have caused these deviations from the simple mass-mobility correlation. Parametric optimization coupled with further basic investigations of this ionization and detection method should lead to a novel approach for the analytical determination of carbohydrates. © 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.

Modification of ionic strength of an aqueous or non-aqueous carrier solution can have profound effects on the particle retention behavior in thermal field-flow fractionation (ThFFF). These effects can be considered as either advantageous or not depending on the performance criteria under consideration. Aside from the general increase in retention time of particulate material (latexes and silica...

The mechanism and kinetics of the growth of silicon nanoparticles via particle}particle interactions has been investigated through the use of classical molecular dynamics (MD) trajectory calculations. Computations over a broad range of temperatures and particle sizes have shown that particle sintering is very dependent on size and temperature when solid-like, and considerably less sensitive whe...
متن کاملStructure and dynamics of ring polymers
We study the equilibrium structure and dynamics of unconcatenated unknotted polymer rings in the melt. In accordance with earlier studies we find that rings in the melt are more compact than linear chains. We show that rings interpenetrate less and, perhaps as a result, diffuse faster than linear chains. Ring diffusion is faster for all ring sizes studied, the largest ring having numbers of mon...
