Abstract

Ionized products of desorption of thiosemicarbazides from a steel target surface before and after deposition of solid solutions of thiosemicarbazides in organic matrices (nicotinic acid, α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid, 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, and dithranol) onto it have been studied by mass spectrometry. 2,5-Dihydroxybenzoic acid has been revealed to be a universal matrix for studying the synthesized thiosemicarbazides under the conditions of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization. Its use leads to a 100-fold decrease in the detection limit of thiosemicarbazides as compared with α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid. Investigations of the decomposition of metastable protonated thiosemicarbazide molecules accelerated in the ion-source region have resulted in suggesting the mechanisms of their fragmentation and ionization.
