Kendrick mass

(Redirected from Kendrick mass scale)

The Kendrick mass is defined by setting the mass of a chosen molecular fragment, typically CH2, to an integer value in u (unified atomic mass unit). It is different from the IUPAC definition, which is based on setting the mass of 12C isotope to exactly 12 u. The Kendrick mass is often used to identify homologous compounds differing only by a number of base units in high resolution mass spectra.[1][2] This definition of mass was first suggested in 1963 by chemist Edward Kendrick,[1] and it has been adopted by scientists working in the area of high-resolution mass spectrometry, environmental analysis,[3][4][5][6] proteomics, petroleomics,[2] metabolomics,[7] polymer analysis,[8] etc.

Definition

edit

According to the procedure outlined by Kendrick, the mass of CH2 is defined as exactly 14 Da, instead of the IUPAC mass of 14.01565 Da.[9][10]

To convert an IUPAC mass of a particular compound to the Kendrick mass, the equation

 

is used.[2][11][7][12] The mass in dalton units (Da) can be converted to the Kendrick scale by dividing by 1.0011178.[1][13]

Other groups of atoms in addition to CH2 can be used define the Kendrick mass, for example CO2, H2, H2O, and O.[12][14][15] In this case, the Kendrick mass for a family of compounds F is given by

 .

For the hydrocarbon analysis, F=CH2.

As an example, Kendrick analysis has been used for visualizing families of halogenated compounds of environmental interest that differ only by the number of chlorine, bromine or fluorine substitutions.[4][5]

A recent publication has suggested that Kendrick mass be expressed in Kendrick units with symbol Ke.[16]

Kendrick mass defect

edit

The Kendrick mass defect is defined as the exact Kendrick mass subtracted from the nominal (integer) Kendrick mass:[17][18]

 

In recent years the equation has changed due to rounding errors to:

 

The members of an alkylation series have the same degree of unsaturation and number of heteroatoms (nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur) but differ in the number of CH2 units. Members of an alkylation series have the same Kendrick mass defect.

The Kendrick mass defect has also been defined as

  .[19]

The abbreviations KM and KMD have been used for Kendrick mass and Kendrick mass defect, respectively.[20]

Kendrick mass analysis

edit
 
Plot of Kendrick mass defect as function of Kendrick mass; horizontal lines indicate common repeat units. Each dot in the plot corresponds to a peak measured in a mass spectrum.

In a Kendrick mass analysis, the Kendrick mass defect is plotted as function of nominal Kendrick mass for ions observed in a mass spectrum.[11] Ions of the same family, for example the members of an alkylation series, have the same Kendrick mass defect but different nominal Kendrick mass and are positioned along a horizontal line on the plot. If the composition of one ion in the family can be determined, the composition of the other ions can be inferred. Horizontal lines of different Kendrick mass defect correspond to ions of different composition, for example degree of saturation or heteroatom content.

A Kendrick mass analysis is often used in conjunction with a Van Krevelen diagram, a two- or three- dimensional graphical analysis in which the elemental composition of the compounds are plotted according to the atomic ratios H/C, O/C, or N/C.[12][21]

Kendrick mass defect analysis of polymers and alternative base units

edit

Because Kendrick mass defect analysis can be carried out by substituting any repeating unit for CH2, KMD analysis is particularly useful for the visualizing the data from polymer mass spectra.[8][22] For example, a Kendrick mass defect plot of an ethylene oxide/propylene oxide copolymer can be created by using ethylene oxide (C2H4O) as the base unit and calculating the Kendrick mass as:

 

where 44.02621 is the calculated IUPAC mass for C2H4O. Alternatively, a KMD plot can be constructed for the same copolymer by using propylene oxide as the base unit.

Polymer mass spectra containing multiple charge ions exhibit isotopic splitting.[23]

Fractional base units and referenced KMD plots

edit

Kendrick mass defect plots created by using fractional base units exhibit enhanced resolution.[24] Referenced Kendrick mass defect plots (KMD plots referenced to the terminal group and adduct composition) with fractional base units can be used to obtain an overview of copolymer composition.[25]
