Analysis of airborne carboxylic acids and phenols as their pentafluorobenzyl derivatives: gas chromatography/ion trap mass spectrometry with a novel chemical ionization reagent, PFBOH
Article Abstract:
A derivatization with pentafluorobenzyl bromide (PFBBr) and the utilization of capillary gas chromatography/ion trap mass spectrometry (GC/ITMS) enabled the characterization of airborne carboxylic acids. Pentafluorobenzyl alcohol (PFBOH) proved useful as a novel reagent gas for chemical ionization and mass spectra (CIMS) of pentafluorobenzyl derivatives. PFBOH gas at reduced pressure yielded pentafluorobenzyl ions, m/z=181, and the resulting CIMS where determined by the predominance of the [M=181]+ ions.

Speciation of organotin compounds, total tin, and major trace metal elements in poisoned human organs by gas chromatography-flame photometric detector and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry
Article Abstract:
Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Science analyzed tissue from major organs of an organotin contaminated lard poisoning victim using gas chromatography-flame photometric detector and plasma-mass spectrometry. Results yielded concentrations of methyltin compounds ranging from 0.10-1.93 ug/g wet weight.
