Gas-phase reactions of singly-charged anions with multiply-protonated peptides, in a RF quadrupole linear ion trap, leads to either peptide deprotonation (proton transfer) or electron deposition (electron transfer). The former process induces peptide backbone cleavage through a reaction scheme analogous to electron capture dissociation (ECD). Here we characterize the preferred reaction pathways...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(5)H(9)N(2) (+)·C(8)H(5)O(4) (-), consists of one protonated 2-ethyl-imidazolium cation and two half terephthalate anions. The anions and cations are linked through N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds while the anions are associated via O-H⋯O inter-actions, resulting in a layered structure. The ethyl group of the cation is disordered over twosites of occupancies 0.8...

In the title compound, [CdK(2)(NCSe)(4)(H(2)O)(2)](n), the cadmium(II) cation is situated on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated in a slightly distorted tetra-hedral geometry by two symmetry-related μ-1,1,1,3 and two-symmetry related μ-1,1,3,3 bridging seleno-cyanate anions, all of which are Se bonded. These bridging seleno-cyanate anions are further coordinated to two symmetry-related p...
