    Abstract:

    We report the energy-dependent Fragmentation patterns upon protonation of eight sulfides (organosulfur compounds) in Proton Transfer Reaction-Mass Spectrometry (PTR-MS). Studies were carried out, both, experimentally with PTR-MS, and with theoretical quantum-chemical methods. Charge retention usually occurred at the sulfur-containing fragment for short chain sulfides. An exception to this is found in the unsaturated monosulfide allylmethyl sulfide (AMS), which preferentially fragmented to a carbo-cation at m/z 41, C3H5+. Quantum chemical calculations (DFT with the M062X functional 6-31G(d,p) basis sets) for the Fragmentation Reaction pathways of AMS indicated that the most stable protonated AMS cation at m/z 89 is a protonated (cyclic) thiirane, and that the Fragmentation Reaction pathways of AMS in the drift tube are kinetically controlled. The protonated parent ion MH+ is the predominant product in PTR-MS, except for diethyl disulfide at high collisional energies. The saturated monosulfides R-S-R’ (with RFragmentation, at the same time the most abundant fragment ion is the smaller R-S+ fragment. The saturated disulfides R-S-S-R display more Fragmentation than the saturated monosulfides, the most common fragments are disulfide containing fragments or long-chain carbo-cations. The results rationalize Fragmentation data for saturated monosulfides and disulfides and represent a detailed analysis of the Fragmentation of an unsaturated sulfide. Apart from the theoretical interest, the results are in support of the quantitative analysis of sulfides with PTR-MS, all the more so as PTR-MS is one of a few techniques that allow for ultra-low quantitative analysis of sulfides.
