Molecular Orbital Study of the Losses of CO2 and H2O in the Fast Atom Bombardment Mass Spectra of Polyether Antibiotics

Abstract

In an earlier fast atom bombardment mass spectroscopy study of polyether antibiotics containing a β-hemiketal carboxylic acid group, the base peak was found to originate from the unusual fragmentation process where both CO<sub>2</sub> and H<sub>2</sub>O were lost from the metal-adduct molecular ion. In this paper, the details of this fragmentation process are studied by <i>ab initio</i> molecular orbital calculations, which indicate that the concerted loss of both CO<sub>2</sub> and H<sub>2</sub>O is much favored over sequential losses of CO<sub>2</sub> and H<sub>2</sub>O.
