An approach to enable negative ion electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometric detection of analytes that lack acidic sites and thus exhibit weak [MΓH] Γ signals has been developed. The method relies upon attachment of Cl Γ ions present in electrosprayed solutions of chlorinated solvents such a

β¦ Synopsis
The mass spectrometry (MS) behaviour of ten commercially available penicillins has been studied by means of electrospray and multiple-stage MS/MS experiments performed using an ion trap instrument. For all the examined compounds negative ions are produced under ESI conditions, with a yield two or three orders of magnitude higher than that observed for positive ions. MS n experiments indicate the occurrence of a fragmentation pathway related to the b-lactam ring, different from that usually described for positive ions of these compounds, and provide structural information on both the b-lactam ring and the side chains.
