The analysis of oligonucleotides using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) has led to the investigation of the use of matrix additives (i.e., co-matrices) to help improve the poor spectral quality commonly observed during the analysis of this class of compounds.

✦ Synopsis
The data reported show that heavy-atom substitution on matrices that are used for matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization mass spectrometry enhance M + H ion yields of both Leu-enkephalin and vitamin B12. Heavy-atom substitution alters the excited state relaxation dynamics of the matrices as indicated by measured decreases in the measured luminescence (fluorescence and/or phosphorescence) observed for heavy atoms that contain matrices relative to the nonheavy-atom-substituted matrices. The results presented are consistent with the direct involvement of an electronically excited state of the matrix in the formation of analyte M + H ions.
