The Influence of High Reactivity of Diaryl Telluroxides on Their Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry Identification Data

The identification features of symmetric and nonsymmetric diaryl telluroxides via chromatography/mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization (HPLC/MS-ESI) are studied in the present work. Diaryl telluroxides exposed to ESI are shown to give rise to the formation of dimer ions and associate ions with the mobile phase components. Moreover, the influence of analyte concentration in the solution and the injection volume is found to impact the chromatography/mass spectrometry data.
