Description

Mass spectrometry has undergone a great deal of development as an empirical subject and many useful approaches to the analysis and identification of organic molecules have been developed without a detailed understanding of theory of ion behaviour. This is also the way in which the subject is usually approached and it is the tack adopted here. That does not mean to say that an understanding of ion behaviour is not important - it is, but that understanding is still being developed and this book is designed for those wishing to use mass spectrometry now. To provide a good understanding of mass spectrometry, the basic theory of ion formation and behaviour, the instrumentation and the interpretation of the spectra of organic molecules are covered. There are also sections covering combined gas chromatography - mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry, which are two of the most powerful techniques available to the analytical chemist.
