The present study focuses on electrospray ionisation (ESI) tandem mass spectrometry of novel copolyesters obtained by anionic ring-opening copolymerisation of β-substituted β-lactones. Detailed analysis of these copolyesters, including molecular chain architecture as well as the structures of the end groups, was performed using ESI-MS/MS collision-induced dissociation spectra. The random arrangement of comonomeric units along the copolyester chains was demonstrated by comparison of ESI-MS(n) fragmentation spectra and fragmentation pathways. Sequence distribution analysis of comonomeric units confirmed the copolymer's random structure. ESI-MS(n) proved to be a promising technique for structural analysis of copolyesters obtained via anionic ROP.
本研究专注于通过β-取代β-内酰胺的阴离子开环共聚反应得到的新型共聚酯的电喷雾离子化(ESI)串联质谱法。通过 ESI-MS/MS 碰撞诱导解离光谱对这些共聚酯进行了详细分析,包括分子链结构以及端基结构。通过比较 ESI-MS(n) 碎裂光谱和碎裂途径,证明了共聚酯链上单体单元的随机排列。通过对单体单元的序列分布分析,证实了共聚物的无规结构。ESI-MS(n) 被证明是一种很有前途的技术,可用于分析通过阴离子 ROP 得到的共聚酯的结构。
