Abstract
There is considerable interest in the detection and analysis of chemical warfare agents. Since thermospray provides soft ionization and interesting fragmentation patterns under discharge conditions, the liquid chromatographic/thermospray mass spectrometric behavior of bis(2βchloroethyl) sulfide and its metabolites was investigated. All of the metabolites except mustard sulfone and thiodiglycol sulfone indicated the presence of a threeβmembered cyclic sulfonium ion intermediate or its equivalent in their mass spectra. Other observed reactions of the above substrates include polymerizations and nucleophilic substitution reactions.

Thermospray liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry using a double-focusing magnetic sector mass spectrometer has been studied. The quality of the thermospray mass spectra were often a function of the solvent mixture used, and use of gradients affected the quality of some thermospray mass spectra. H
The structural identification of drug metabolites has been carried out using thermospray liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS). It has allowed the direct analysis of biological samples, in this case in vitro hepatocyte incubations, with the minimum of sample preparation. The technique also
