The reaction of (COD)PdCl₂ with new C₃-symmetric tridentate L (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadien; L = 1,3,5-tris(picolinoyloxyethyl)cyanurate) in a mixture of acetone and dichloromethane produces single crystals consisting of unprecedented monometallacyclic [PdCl₂(L)]. This cyclic compound arises from trans-chelation of two of three donating pyridyl groups of L, while the third pyridyl group remains uncoordinated. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) data on L exhibited the major peak corresponding to [C₂₇H₂₄N₆O₉ + H⁺]⁺. Fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FABMS) data on [PdCl₂(L)], however, showed the mass peak corresponding to the L instead of the present palladium(II) compound species, due to the insolubility and dissociation in solution. The physicochemical properties of the present palladium(II) compound were fully characterized by means of infrared (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, thermal analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) measurement.

The thermal degradation products of polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) obtained by heating the sample in the temperature range of $250-360^{\circ}C$ under non-oxidative conditions was characterized using MALDI-TOF (matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization) mass spectrometry. The structures of the degradation products were determined and the relative compositions were estimated. The MALDI-TOF mass spectra of the thermally degraded PTT sample showed three main series of oligomer products with different end groups, which were carboxyl/carboxyl, carboxyl/allyl, and allyl/allyl. In contrast to the thermal degradation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the oligomers containing terephthalic anhydrides were not detected, whereas the formation of oligomers containing the unsaturated allyl ester group was confirmed by mass assignment. From these results, it was concluded that the thermal degradation of PTT proceeds exclusively through the ${\beta}$-CH hydrogen transfer mechanism, which is in accordance with the proposed reaction mechanism for the thermal degradation of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT).

열 이온화 질량분석을 이용한 루테늄(Ru) 동위원소 비 측정은 루테늄의 이온화 포텐셜이 높고 산화상태로 휘발이 일어나 시료가 쉽게 소모되어 안정된 이온피크를 얻기가 어렵다. 따라서 이온화 효율을 높이고 안정적 이온생성을 위한 실험과 질량분석에 사용되는 레늄(Re) 필라멘트에 함유된 불순물들에 의한 동중원소 영향을 검토하였다. 질량분석에서 double filament를 사용하는 것 보다는 single filament를 사용하는 것이 더 안정적 이온 피크를 얻을 수 있었을 뿐만 아니라 몰리브데넘(Mo)에 의한 동중원소 영향도 작았다. 또한 필라멘트 온도를 필요이상 높이면 높일수록 동중원소 영향이 큼을 알 수 있었다. 즉, 불순물로 함유된 Mo이 Ru 동위원소 비 측정에 큰 영향을 주었다. 특히 필라멘트 온도를 일정한 시간 간격을 두고 서서히 올려주는 것이 안정된 피크를 얻는데 매우 중요함을 알 수 있었다. Mo으로부터 오는 동중원소 영향을 $^{94}Mo/^{99}Ru$ 비를 측정하여 보정함으로써 Ru 동위원소 비를 정확히 측정할 수 있었다.

Isotopic analysis using thermal ionization mass spectrometry coupled with scanning electron microscopy (SEM-TIMS) was performed to determine the isotopic ratios of uranium contained in micro-particles in the 6th Nuclear Signatures Interlaboratory Measurement Evaluation Programme (NUSIMEP-6) sample. Elemental analysis by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) was conducted on uranium-bearing mirco-particles, which were transferred to rhenium filaments for TIMS loading using a micromanipulation system in a SEM. A multi-ion-counter system was utilized to detect the ion signals of the four isotopes of uranium simultaneously. The isotope ratios of uranium corrected by bracketing using a reference material showed excellent agreement with the certified values. The measurement accuracy for $n(^{234}U)/n(^{238}U)$ and (b) $n(^{235}U)/n(^{238}U)$ was 10% and 1%, respectively, which met the requirements for qalification for the NetWork of Analytical Laboratories (NWAL).

A thermal vapor deposition method for crystallization of insoluble analytes with matrix is established as a new sample preparation method for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). A mixture of mono, bis and tris(p-ethyl benzylidene) sorbitols was incorporated into microcrystals of ferulic acid, which was confirmed by confocal micrographs. Molecular masses of sorbitol derivatives were determined in this way by MALDI-MS without thermal decomposition.

지질과학 분야에서 암석의 생성 시기, 지각과 맨틀 진화연구의 기초자료로 활용되는 Sr 동위원소비는 열이온화 질량분석기(thermal ionization mass spectrometry, TIMS) 혹은 다검출기 유도결합 플라즈마 질량분석기(multi-collector plasma ionization mass spectrometry, MC-ICP-MS)와 같은 질량분석기를 이용하여 측정할 수 있다. 이 기술보고에서는, Sr 동위원소비 측정시, 원소의 불완전한 화학적 분리가 Sr 동위원소비의 참값 (true value)에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 비교하였다. 실험에는 상업용 레진, NBS987(NIST SRM987) Sr 동위 원소 표준물질 그리고 일본지질조사소의 암석표준시료 JG1a, JB3, JA1를 이용하였다. 비교실험 결과, NBS987 Sr 동위원소 표준시료, 일본지질조사소의 암석표준시료 JG1a, JB3, JA1 모두 불완전한 분리에 의해 Rb이 남아있는 경우 ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr의 측정값이 변하는 것이 명확하게 관찰된다. 이는 질량분석기 특히 MC-ICP-MS로 동위 원소비를 측정하고자 하는 경우, 동종동위원소의 간섭에 대한 보정에도 불구하고 측정값은 참값에서 벗어나므로 완전한 분리가 중요한 인자임을 지시해준다. 그러므로 MC-ICP-MS를 이용한 Sr 동위원소비 측정결과를 보고할 때는, 동종동위원소에 의한 영향을 판단할 수 있도록 Sr의 동위원소 전체의 측정강도와 더불어 ⁸⁵Rb의 측정강도도 함께 보고돼야 할 것이다.

Pyrolysis-mass spectrometry, incorporating an in situ thermal hydrolysis and methylation(THM) step, has been used to study biological materials for bacteria, toxin and virus. Newly developed pyrolyzer was used to decompose biological materials, and tetramethylammonium hydroxide(TMAH) was used as a methylation reagent. Chemical ionization(CI) using ethanol and ion trap mass spectrometer(ITMS) were used to ionize and analyze of pyrolysis components, respectively. Analytical characteristics of bacteria (including spore), virus and toxin were analyzed. Also acquisition and interpretation of mass spectra as biomarkers for classification/identification of biological material s were explained.

As background significantly affects measurement accuracy and a detection limit in determination of the trace amounts of uranium, it is necessary to minimize the impurities in the filaments used for thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS). We have varied the degassing condition such as the heating currents and duration times to reduce the backgrounds from the filaments prepared with zone-refined rhenium tape. The most efficient degassing condition of the heating current and the duration time was determined as 3.5 A and 60 min, respectively. The TIMS measurement combined with the isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) technique showed that the uranium backgrounds were determined to be in a few fg level from blank rhenium filaments. The background minimized filaments were utilized to measure the uranium isotope ratios of a U030 (NIST) standard sample. The excellent agreement of the measurement with the certified isotope ratios showed that the degassing procedure optimized in this study efficiently reduced the impurity signals of uranium from blank rhenium filaments to a negligible level.

As background significantly affects measurement accuracy and a detection limit in determination of the trace amounts of uranium, it is necessary to determine the impurities in the Lexan detector film for single particle measurements by thermal ionization mass spectrometry coupled with fission track technique (FT-TIMS). We have prepared various micro sizes of the blank Lexan detector film using a micromanipulation technique for uranium measurements by TIMS. Few tens of fg of uranium background with no remarkable dependency on the film sizes were observed in the blank Lexan films with the sizes from $50{\times}50\;{\mu}m^2$ to $300{\times}300\;{\mu}m^2$. Based on the determination of the uranium background in the Lexan film, any background correction is necessary in the isotopic analysis of a uranium single particle with micron sizes when the particle bearing Lexan film is dissected with less than $300{\times}300\;{\mu}m^2$ size. The isotopic analysis of a uranium particle in U030 standard material using TIMS was carried out to verify the applicability of the Lexan film to the single particle analysis with high accuracy and precision.
