A New Strategy Coupling Ion-Mobility-Selective CID and Cryogenic IR Spectroscopy to Identify Glycan Anomers

Thomas Rizzo, Ahmed Ben Faleh, Stephan Warnke, Eduardo Carrascosa Casado, Priyanka Bansal, Robert Paul Pellegrinelli, Lei Yue

Determining the primary structure of glycans remains challenging due to their isomeric complexity. While high-resolution ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) has recently allowed distinguishing between many glycan isomers, the arrival-time distributions (ATDs) ...

Photoisomerization of Linear and Stacked Isomers of a Charged Styryl Dye: A Tandem Ion Mobility Study

Eduardo Carrascosa Casado

The photoisomerization behavior of styryl 9M, a common dye used in material sciences, is investigated using tandem ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) coupled with laser spectroscopy. Styryl 9M has two alkene linkages, potentially allowing for four geometric i ...

Action spectroscopy of deprotomer-selected hydroxycinnamate anions

Eduardo Carrascosa Casado

Tandem ion mobility mass spectrometry-coupled laser excitation is used to record photodetachment, photoisomerization and photodepletion action spectra for a series of deprotomer-selected hydroxycinnamate anions, including deprotonated caffeic, ferulic and ...

Competitive Dehydrogenation and Backbone Fragmentation of Superhydrogenated PAHs: A Laboratory Study

Eduardo Carrascosa Casado, Robert Richter

Superhydrogenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been suggested to catalyze the formation of H-2 in certain regions of space, but it remains unclear under which circumstances this mechanism is viable given the reduced carbon backbone stabilit ...

Unravelling the structures of sodiated beta-cyclodextrin and its fragments

Thomas Rizzo, Eduardo Carrascosa Casado, Ali H Abikhodr, Robert Paul Pellegrinelli

We present cryogenic infrared spectra of sodiated beta-cyclodextrin beta-CD + Na, a common cyclic oligosaccharide, and its main dissociation products upon collision-induced dissociation (CID). We characterize the parent ions using high-resolution ion ...

Atomistic dynamics of elimination and nucleophilic substitution disentangled for the F- + CH3CH2Cl reaction

Eduardo Carrascosa Casado

Chemical reaction dynamics are studied to monitor and understand the concerted motion of several atoms while they rearrange from reactants to products. When the number of atoms involved increases, the number of pathways, transition states and product chann ...

Unimolecular fragmentation and radiative cooling of isolated PAH ions: A quantitative study

Eduardo Carrascosa Casado

Time-resolved spontaneous and laser-induced unimolecular fragmentation of perylene cations (C20H12+) has been measured on timescales up to 2 s in a cryogenic electrostatic ion beam storage ring. We elaborate a quantitative model, which includes fragmentati ...

Charge transfer dynamics in Ar+ + CO

Eduardo Carrascosa Casado

Differential cross sections for the charge transfer reaction between Ar(+)and CO have been measured using three-dimensional velocity map imaging in a crossed beam setup at the two relative collision energies 0.55 and 0.74 eV. We find dominant forward scatt ...

Cryogenic Infrared Action Spectroscopy Fingerprints the Hydrogen Bonding Network in Gas-Phase Coumarin Cations

Thomas Rizzo, Eduardo Carrascosa Casado, Robert Paul Pellegrinelli

We report cryogenic vibrational spectra of gas-phase cations of two common hydroxycoumarins, scopoletin and esculetin, as well as their glycosidic derivatives, scopolin and esculin. The study allows direct observation of the intramolecular interactions bet ...
