    About this ebook

    Mass Spectrometry of Organic Ions covers the underlying theories and major applications of mass spectrometry. This 13-chapter book starts with a survey of the mechanisms by which organic ions can decompose and rearrange, as well as the generalized concept in terms of physical-organic chemistry. The discussion then shifts to the advantages and potential of mass spectrometry in structure determination by the elucidation of the empirical formulas of organic ions. Considerable chapters are devoted to the detailed correlations and mechanisms of the mass spectra of long-chain esters, alkylbenzenes, a variety of natural products, aliphatic compounds, and terpenes. The remaining chapters demonstrate the illustrative power of mass spectrometry in structure of petroleum, which is composed of hydrocarbon mixture. This book will be of great benefit to organic and analytical chemists, scientists, and students.

      Ancient Bacteria Shed Light on Turning Water to Energy

      Nov 20, 2017

      Researchers have traced the paths of three water channels in an ancient photosynthetic organism—a strain of cyanobacteria—to provide the first comprehensive, experimental study of how that organism uses and regulates water to create energy. The findi

      Tungsten In Drinking Water Builds Up In Bones

      Apr 18, 2018

      New research could add to doubts over the once-universal assumption that tungsten poses little or no health risk to the general human population. The study shows how and where tungsten accumulates in bones of mice exposed to the element through drink

      The Hidden Power Laws of Ecosystems: As nature scales, complexity gives way to universal law.

      Oct 29, 2015

      Here’s how to cause a ruckus: Ask a bunch of naturalists to simplify the world. We usually think in terms of a web of complicated interactions among animals, plants, microbes, earth, wind, and fire—what Darwin called “the entangled bank.” Reducing th
