Abstract
Molecular secondary ion mass spectra of three pentasaccharides, viridopentaoses A, B and C, using various matrices, are discussed. The appearance of the molecular ion species is dependent upon the relative proton affinities between the sample and the organic matrix material. However, the presence of sodium ion, rather than proton, also greatly influences the appearance of the molecular ion species. The glycosidic linkages are mainly cleaved between the glycosidic oxygen atom and the anomeric carbon atom to give informative sugar sequence ions. These fragmentations have been confirmed by the linked scanning technique (B/E).
