Abstract |
Reductions involving more than one electron with formation of the M+ and [M+2H](+) ions were observed for electrosprayed meso-tris(N-methylpyridinium-4-yl)porphyrin iodides, MI3. These reductions were studied by using different solvents and flow rates. Formation of the [M+2H](+) ions occurred only for protic solvents and to a larger extent at lower flow rates. The type of the fourth substituent does not seem to affect the reduction processes. Formation of the two reduced species, M+ and [M+2H](+) ions, may occur through the participation of counter ion/solvent clusters. Reduction of multiply charged, non-metallated species with formation of [M+nH](+) ions (n > 1) was not observed before in positive mode electrospray mass spectrometry. |
