Abstract
Mass Spectrometry has emerged as a powerful analytical tool for the characterization of unknown molecules. Molecular weight information and chemical formulas of the unknowns can be derived by measuring the m/z value of the ionized analyte. In addition, structural information can be obtained via tandem mass spectrometry methods such as collision-activated dissociation (CAD). However, CAD does not always guarantee unambiguously assignment of chemical structures, therefore, additional tandem mass spectrometric methods such as ion-molecule reactions were developed.
