title: Tandem mass spectrometric analysis of distinct fragmentation patterns to [M+Na]/z and [M+H]/z of dendritic Al(III) and Zn(II) quinolates.
abstract: The synthesis of two novel dendritic aluminum and zinc quinolates, which are soluble in common solvents, was monitored effectively by positive ion electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Through tandem mass spectrometric analysis of the complexes, distinct fragmentation pathways for sodium adduct molecular ion [M+Na]+ and protonated molecular ion [M+H]+ were observed.
