IONIC CLUSTERS OF TRIAZINE DERIVATIVES PRODUCED BY MATRIX-ASSISTED N2 LASER DESORPTION AND CO2 LASER DESORPTION

Abstract

Mass spectra of ions from the pyrolytic product of cyanuric trichloride and ammonia were obtained by matrix-assisted N 2 laser desorption time of flight mass spectrometry (TOF -MS) and CO 2 laser desorption Fourier transform mass spectrometry (FT-MS). Cluster ions of which chemical formulae are expressed by C x N 2 x-y H 2 x -3 y +1 + were found and were assigned as a series of ionic clusters of triazine oligomers.
