title: Charge-remote fragmentation in a hybrid (BEqQ) mass spectrometer to determine isotopic purity in selectively polydeuterated surfactants.
abstract: The combination of fast atom bombardment with charge-remote fragmentation using a hybrid (BEqQ) mass spectrometer was used successfully to assess and localize the extent of selective deuterium isotope labeling of tetradecyItrimethylammonium bromides. Spectral details reveal a new reaction that can give rise to ions isobaric with those formed by chargeremote fragmentation.
