ChemInform Abstract: Laser Induced Vaporization Mass Spectrometry of a High Melting Multidentate Chelating Ligand and Its Ni(II) Bisdeprotonated Complex

The laser induced vaporization of 2,6-diacetylpyridine-bis(1-phthalazinylhydrazone) and of bis[2,6-di-acetylpyridine-bis-(1-phthalazinylhydrazonato) nickel(II)] allowed an easy description of the Electron Impact (EI) induced fragmentation pattern of the two compounds. The comparison with the spectra obtained with the usual heated probe is reported, showing that in that case the mass spectra collected are due to pyrolysis products.
