API/MS Studies on the Complex of a Macrocyclic Schiff BaseZhou Keyu;Gou Shaohua;Cao Yacheng(Institute of Soil,Chinese Academy of Sciences,Nanjing 210008,China; CoordinationChemistry institute,Nanjing University,Nanjing 210093,China)Received 1994-07-20Abstract:A new poly-sodium complex (Na3L) of a macrocyclic Schiff base was studied byAPCI and ESI mass spectrometry. The results compared with the correspoding FAB/MSindicate that main species of the compound have been observed by these techniques butthe obtained spectra were different. The FAB/MS only gave a fragment of NaLH3+,while the ESI/MS gave an intense peak of LH4+. Parent molecular ion as well as otherspecies were found in the APCI/MS.Keywords: macrocyclic Schiff base,sodium complex. APCI/MS,ESI/MS.
