    Notes: Abstract Observations of the CO J=1-0 line are commonly used as a tracer for molecular material in clouds. The ratio of the H2 column density to the integrated intensity of this line,X, is often taken to be constant, despite theoretical and observational uncertainty. We have tried to identify how this ratio depends on cloud parameters, testing a simple theoretical argument suggesting its invariance with respect to density. The apparent constancy can be understood if clouds are clumpy on scales of Av ≈ 1-2 mag.

    Notes: Large multimeric ions were detected from electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry of peptides, using a quadrupole mass spectrometer of standard mass range. Multimers, up to heptamers, were seen for angiotensin I; and multimers, up to pentamers, were observed for renin substrate. The appearance of the multimeric species could be controlled by manipulation of sampling conditions in the ESI interface. The relevance of the observation of large multimers to proposed mechanisms of ESI is discussed. Implications of the observation of large multimers to efforts to deduce higher order structure of biomolecules from ESI mass spectrometric experiments are also noted.

    Notes: The resonant two-photon ionization spectra of the S1←S0 transition of all di-, tri- and tetrachlorinated benzene isomers, cooled by supersonic jet expansion, are presented. As the spectra are well structured and isomer specific, this technique allows selective ionization of a single isomer out of mixtures such as, for example, environmental samples. Reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometry is used for the mass-selective detection of the ions.

    Notes: Analysis by thermospray of glucuronide and glutathione conjugates as the corresponding methyl-, propyl-, or hexyl esters is demonstrated to yield a remarkable increase in positive pseudomolecular ion production and to result in a dramatic improvement in detectability of these thermally labile compounds as intact molecular structures. In the most extreme examples a 450-fold increase in the [M + NH4]+ ion intensity was observed for mycophenolic acid glucuronide bis-propyl esters vs. the native conjugate and an 860-fold increase in the [M + H]+ ion intensity was achieved for acetaminophen glutathione bis-hexyl ester vs. the native conjugate. Following esterification, seventeen of the eighteen glucuronide esters analyzed demonstrated an increase in totalion-current yield ranging from 1.1- to 8.3-fold while eighteen of the twenty-one glutathione esters examined demonstrated an increase in totalion-current yield from 2.0- to 26.3-fold. For both types of conjugates a trend in increased relative abundance of the positive pseudomolecular ion intensity is observed as the hydrophobicity of the ester increases from methyl to hexyl. For the glutathione conjugate esters, the [M + H]+ ion represented the base peak in the mass spectra of the majority of samples analyzed. This approach improves the protonated- or ammoniated-molecular-ion abundances of the conjugates to such an extent that it provides a means for unambiguous molecular weight assignments to be made. Although the exact mechanism(s) for the observed phenomenon is not known, it appears that the improvement in sensitivity for the conjugate esters over the corresponding native conjugates involves an increase in pseudomolecular-ion stability and also in part an increased ionization efficiency of the esterified molecule.

    Notes: A termination synthesis approach has been developed to encode each resin bead in support-bound combinatorial peptide libraries with the information needed to establish the sequence of the full-length products also contained on the beads. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry was then used to rapidly read the appropriate sequences. In addition to rapid peptide sequencing, the technique allows direct assessment of the quality of the synthetic library, since deletion peptides, side-reaction products and incomplete-deprotection products are readily observed. An anti-gp120 monoclonal antibody was screened against a hexapeptide library, and eight active peptides were isolated. Six of the eight peptides were shown to possess the exact recognition sequence for the antibody.

    Notes: The kinetics of the unimolecular dissociations of proton-bound dimers produced by fast-atom bombardment from nucleosides and reference amines enables the evaluation of the proton affinities (PA) of ribonucleosides. The PAs of cytosine, guanosine, adenosine, uridine and deoxyuridine have been thus determined. These values and those already available for the corresponding DNA homologues allow the evaluation of the effect of the hydroxyl group in position 2′ of the sugar moiety, which lowers the PAs of RNA nucleosides by 0.6-1 kcal/mol, and of the methyl group in position 5 of the thymine ring which enhances the basicity of deoxythymidine over deoxyuridine by 0.6 kcal/mol.

    Notes: Thermospray mass spectrometry was used to analyze fumonisin B1 (FB1) from two corn samples that were known to contain fumonisins, and from a FB1-spiked meat sample. The mass spectrometer was operated in the negative-ion discharge-on, filament-off, mode with the fragmentor set at 200 V. Selected-ion monitoring (SIM) was used for quantitative analysis. The mobile phase was CH3CN (containing 1% CICH2CN, v/v)+0.1M ammonium acetate, pH 3.65 (65:35, v/v). Quantitative analysis was done by integrating the peak areas traced by ion currents of 5 selected ions in SIM, and by the method of standard additions. Responses to the selected ions were linear within the range of 2-200 ng. Fumonisins were easily identified in the corn and muscle tissue matrices without any apparent matrix interferences and were detectable down to 0.1 μ/mL (2 ng injected).

    Notes: Structures of the trifunctional crosslink molecules, pyridinoline, deoxypyridinoline and glucosylgalactosyl-pyridinoline, have been characterized by positive-ion liquid secondary-ion mass spectrometry (LSIMS) and collision-induced dissociation with scanning-array four-sector tandem mass spectrometry. It has been found that: (i) the naturally occurring cations (Cat+) are readily desorbed by positive-ion LSIMS utilizing glycerol + thioglycerol (1:1) as liquid matrix and dominate the spectra, facilitating accurate mass measurement; (ii) changing the matrix to 3-nitrobenzyl alcohol leaves little evidence of the cation, and (iii) collision-induced dissociation of the cations (Cat+) of pyridinoline, deoxypyridinoline and glucosylgalatosyl-pyridinoline gives a wealth of fragmentation for structure elucidation. These fundamental studies of tandem mass spectra of the known trifunctional crosslink molecules provided valuable structure-related information, which help in the identification of the tissue-specific peptides containing these crosslinks. Artefact ions in these tandem mass spectra are remarkably abundant.

    Notes: A rapid method for identifying and characterizing sites of phosphorylation of peptides and proteins is described. High-performance capillary liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) is used to distinguish non-phosphorylated and phosphorylated peptides originating from mixtures as complex as enzyme digests. The method relies on the ability to produce a fragment ion characteristic and unique to phosphopeptides (m/z 79, PO3-) by stepping the orifice potential of the mass spectrometer as a function of mass. At low m/z values, a high orifice potential is applied to induce extensive fragmentation of the peptide, leading to the formation of the m/z 79 phosphate-derived ion. This method is analogous to that described by Carr et al. for the identification of glycopeptides from enzymatic digestion of glycoproteins (S.A. Carr, M. J. Huddleston, M. F. Bean, Protein Science 2, 183 (1993)). The method was first evaluated and validated for a mixture of non-, mono- and di-phosphorylated synthetic peptides. Both mono- and di-phophorylated peptides were found to generate fragment ions characteristic of PO3- whereas the non-phosphorylated peptide did not. Application of the method was extended to identifying phosphopeptides generated from an endoprotease Lys-C digestion of β-casein. Both the expected mono- and tetra-phosphorylated Lys-C peptides were observed and identified rapidly in the LC/SEI-MS analysis. The procedure was used additionally to identify the site(s) of phosphorylation of the cytosolic non-receptor tyrosine kinase, pp60c-src.

    Notes: Capillary column supercritical fluid chromatography (SCF) was combined with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) mass spectrometry through a heated pneumatic-nebulizer interface, originally developed for liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS), and subsequently modified for use with supercritical fluid chromatography/mass spectrometry (SFC/MS). A high pressure syringe pump was used to pass SFC-grade carbon dioxide, used as the mobile phase, through a capillary SFC column which was contained in an oven, maintained at 100°C. The eluent passed through the heated pneumatic-nebulizer interface into the ionization region of the mass spectrometer with the aid of the flow of nebulizing gas. The system was optimized using benz[a]anthracene, and then applied to analyze a standard mixture of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) as well as complex mixtures of PACs obtained by the fractionation of a pond sediment contaminated by coke-oven residues. A detection limit of 40 pg was established for chrysene.

    Notes: Differences in the electron ionization mass spectra of 4,5-bis(alkylthio)-1,3-dithiol-2-ones and 4,5-bis(alkylthio)-1,2-dithiol-3-ones have been studied by metastable analysis and collision-induced dissociation. Analogies in the spectra are due to the presence of common [M - CO]+· ions rather than to isomerization of molecular ions.

In general, well detectable protonated molecules are present and fragmentation processes mainly related to aldimine chain cleavages are evidenced. Interesting cyclization reactions leading to particularly stable product ions are discussed.

The protonated molecules were mass selected and their collision-induced dissociations were analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry. The data obtained allow a fragmentation pattern to be established for these glygly analogues and permit detailed structural information on the main fragment ions to be ascertained.

    Notes: Mass spectra recorded using a Paul ion trap, operated in the mass-selective instability scan mode, give peak positions which are shown to depend on ion abundance. The isolated molecular ions of benzene, anisole, cresol, and n-butylbenzene are ejected during the mass selective instability scan at times which display a linear dependence on ion abundance for low populations of trapped ions. Remarkably, the degree to which the peaks are shifted is also compound dependent. Mass shifts are also influenced by the presence of other ions in the trap and this effect is amplified as the mass difference between the analyte and matrix ions decreases. Mass shifts are also affected by the helium pressure which controls the ion density. Extrapolation to zero ion abundance and to zero helium pressure is suggested as a method of eliminating these effects and hence of improving the mass measurement accuracy attainable using the ion trap.

    Notes: The formation of deprotonated molecules, [M - H]-, of α-tocopherol under fast-atom bombardment (FAB) conditions has been discussed on the basis of a proton subtraction reaction between analyte and matrix molecules. The use of proton-accepting matrices such as diethanolamine (DEA) and pentamethyleneglycol (PMG) gave higher intensities of the [M - H]- ion and more definitive spectral data than when other matrices, a 1:2 (v/v) mixture of thioglycerol (TG) and dithiothreitol (DTT), or m-nitrobenzylalcohol (m-NBA), were used. The order of proton acceptability evaluated for the matrices used was DEA〉PMG〉DTT〉m-NBA. It was concluded that the proton acceptability, which is measured by gas-phase basicity or proton affinity, is a most important factor for the formation of both [M + H]+ and [M - H]- ions under FAB conditions. Further, the formation of molecular ions, M+·, under FAB conditions and the formation of [M - H]- ions by electron impact have been discussed by using α-tocopherol.

    Notes: We propose a new confirmatory method for testosterone doping in sport. The present method in use, based on measuring the testosterone/epitestosterone (T/E) ratio in urine, may miss suspicious cases, or lead to reporting cases in which the high ratio is natural. Synthetic testosterone has a 13C abundance different from that of endogenous human testosterone. The connection of a gas chromatograph to an isotope-ratio mass spectrometer via a combustion interface allows the measurement of the corresponding characteristic value (δ‰) for testosterone, its precursors, and its metabolites. To detect exogenous administration of testosterone, 30-40 mL of urine is sufficient.

    Notes: A series of pyrilium hydrochlorides (Py+ClO-4) have been studied by means of both electron ionization and fast-atom bombardment (FAB) methods. Only for some compounds does electron ionization show the formation of Py+, together with [Py - H]+· ions. Metastable ion data indicate that the former also originate through H· loss when their formation could be explained by loss of perchloric acid through a thermal process directly from the salt. Many fragment ions, related to the original structures, are also detected. In contrast, in FAB conditions, all the compounds show the formation of Py+ without any fragmentation products, proving its effectiveness in the easy identification of the related molecular species. Only by the mass-analyzed ion kinetic energy spectra of Py+ ions can a valid characterization of the compounds under study be achieved.

There are three types of fragmentation, viz.

    Notes: We demonstrate the advantages of utilizing a broad-band filtered noise field (FNF) for preferential mass injection of laser desorbed ions into an ion-trap mass spectrometer (ITMS). The FNF waveform is applied to the endcap electrodes of the ITMS during the laser-desorption period, and its amplitude and frequency spectrum are adjusted to resonantly eject all ions except those with selected mass-to-charge ratios. In single-pulse laser desorption, the FNF rapidly ejects desorbed matrix ions without reducing the number of target ions that are trapped. When the FNF is used in conjunction with multipole laser-desorption events, accumulation of target m/z ions results in a 40-fold increase in sensitivity over single-shot laser desorption. In addition, the application of sequential filtered noise fields for multiple stages of mass spectral interrogation is demonstrated.

    Notes: Cathodic ion sputtering energies have been studied in a glow-discharge ion source, operated in the ranges 0.5-2.0 Torr pressure and 100-1000 V discharge voltage using ion kinetic energy spectroscopy. Average energies in the range 10-20 eV were measured. These energies are very low compared with the theoretical prediction of the charge-transfer model. In view of this, the high sputtering yields measured are surprising. It is inferred that the sputtering is caused, not by the discharge gas ions as is still widely believed, but by fast discharge-gas atoms. A means of estimating the average energy of the neutral flux is found by comparing presently measured thresholds with Literature values directly obtained. The average energy seems to be about three times greater than that of the ions. The neutral flux is crudely estimated by comparison of the apparent nett sputter yields measured here with tabulated primary values and taking into account back-diffusion. It is found to be 〉 100 times larger than the ion flux. The flux created by charge transfer alone is therefore not enough to explain the high sputtering yields measured. Higher energy ions detected and composed mainly of ionized cathodic atoms appear to be formed in a region intermediate between the negative glow and the cathode, which again is different from the generally held view.

    Notes: An electrospray ion source designed for a magnetic sector instrument usually has two skimmers, which are located behind a capillary exit with separate pumping stages to reduce the pressure from that of ambient air to a valve suitable for the sector instrument. This work describes an evaluation of these two skimmer voltages with respect to the charge-state distributions and the focusing efficiency of ions. The skimmer voltages were found to be closely related to the m/z values of the detected ions. The optimal difference voltage between skimmers 1 and 2 increased in proportion to the m/z values of the ions, irrespective of the molecular masses of the associated substances. This phenomenon is ascribable to the ion-focusing effect in this region rather than to the effects of energetic collisions in the region of the skimmers, and suggests that the skimmer voltages should be adjusted in accordance with the m/z values of the detected ions for efficient acquisition of all distributed ions. The work demonstrates the functional role of the skimmers in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry with a magnetic sector instrument by examining several types of peptides and proteins, as well as an analysis of a complex mixture of peptides.

    Notes: This paper describes the fabrication and use of thin polycrystalline films in matrix-assisted laser desorption experiments. These films consist of microcrystals of protein-doped matrix (crystal dimensions ≤ 1 μm). The films produce intense protein-ion currents and can be grown in the presence of high concentrations of involatile solvents (e.g., glycerol, 6 M urea) without any purification. They strongly adhere to the substrate, allowing easier washing of the film, compared to dried-droplet deposits. The films are also more uniform than dried-droplet deposits, with respect to ion production. It is suggested that matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization samples are composed of nonlinear optical devices that function as polymer ion-current sources. These devices (protein-doped matrix crystals) can be designed and fabricated in many forms to serve the special functions required by the analytical scientist.

    Notes: Mass spectra of intermediate products of polymer [(C3N3)2(NH)3]n were obtained by carbon dioxide laser desorption/ionization Fourier-transform mass spectrometry and analyzed by a method which assumes the presence of a pattern of chemical formulae. It was found that a group of chemical formulae CxNyHz+ (4x-3y+z=1) applies to most of the observed ions. These formulae were found to correspond to the ionic structures which are expected from a knowledge of reactions of s-triazine derivatives.

    Notes: The determination of the tryptic peptide mapping of sequence 1-298 of human serum albumin (HSA) by chemical and enzymatic cleavage and combined use of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and fast-atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB-MS) is described. A total coverage of about 75% of the entire sequence was obtained. Unidentified fragments included some peptides which were not present in the chromatograms because of their extreme hydrophobic or hydrophilic character, as indicated by the calculated retention times. Due to the high reproducibility of the experiments and to the satisfactory yield of the tryptic fragments identified, the combined use of HPLC and FAB-MS appears to possess great potential for structural investigation of HSA.

Data on the activities of Al2O3 and SiO2 and on the entropy, enthalpy and Gibbs energy of formation of mullite were obtained. It was shown that the atomization energy of the AlSiO gaseous molecule (1062±25 kJ/mol) is close to the values that have been obtained earlier.

    Notes: The introduction of 18-crown-6 into the liquid sheath during the electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) of peptides leads to the formation of crown ether/peptide complexes. The nominal mass spacing of the peaks from these complexes allows an unambiguous determination of the charge state of the ions and thus of their actual mass. The 264 Da mass shift is much larger than what is achieved by either Na+ or Cu2+ adduction, and is thus potentially more useful for the determination of charge states, especially for multiply charged high-molecular-weight species. The addition of an uncharged crown ether does not appear to interfere with the ESI process. Because the crown ether is added to the liquid sheath and not to the original solution, the method should be particularly amenable to chromatographic or electrophoretic techniques because it is essentially a post-column noncovalent derivatization procedure. Finally, because the complex formation constants are relatively large, the peptide/crown ether complex yields high intensity ions, normally the base peak in the spectrum when analyzing pure peptide samples. Finally, as the crown ether is neutral and noncovalently complexed, a constant-neutral-loss scan of their collision-induced dissociation spectra yields a simplified spectrum that is free of chemical noise.

    Notes: A method for obtaining fast-atom bombardment mass spectra of samples on paper is described in which a scrap trimmed from the paper of interest is adhered to the FAB probe tip with a strip of double-faced adhesive tape. After addition of suitable matrix (e.g. glycerol or thioglycerol) to the scrap, the probe is introduced into the mass spectrometer to obtain mass spectra in the usual manner. The method is demonstrated by analysing some paper containing hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate and vanillic acid. The method is also used to characterize paper chromatographic spots, by which the fractions of a mixture of three amino acids (L-glutamic acid, L-proline and L-valine) separated by paper chromatography are easily determined. The detection limit of the method is well below 10 ng with respect to hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide.

The successful detection of 500-nucleotide DNA indicates that laser mass spectrometry is now emerging as a new biotechnology tool for DNA-related research. It should be possible to utilize fast detection of large DNA segments by laser mass spectrometry for rapid human genome sequencing.

    Notes: A strong research effort has been devoted in recent years to the mammalian lignans enterolactone and enterodiol because of their claimed protective effects against breast and colon cancer. Some plant lignans appear to be precursors of these molecules. This paper reports a novel identification procedure for one of these precursors, the secoisolariciresinol diglucoside, in the extracts of defatted flax-seed meal. The procedure is based on high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with either ionspray or continuous-flow fast-atom bombardment mass spectrometry. The application of these techniques allowed the identification in flax seed of two isomeric forms of this precursor for the first time. The isomers are reasonably the two diastereoisomers, due to the two equivalent stereogenic centers present in the molecule.

    Notes: Electrospray ionization tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry has been applied to a series of lysine-substituted octaalanines and some naturally occurring peptides containing more than two basic amino acid residues. Unusually high fragmentation efficiency along with site-specific cleavages at the outer side of and remote from basic residues were observed for collisionally activated dissociation spectra of multiply charged peptides (MCP) with basic residues in close proximity. It was suggested that Coulomb energy (CE) rather than Coulomb repulsion (CR) was responsible for promoting fragmentation of the MCP studied. A possible fragmentation mechanism of MCP is proposed, in which the conversion of CE into internal vibrational energy was brought about by intramolecular proton migration in the presence of CR between charged sites.

    Notes: Resolution in Fourier spectra can be significantly enhanced by displaying magnitudes of the complex peak derivatives with respect to frequency. These derivatives are computed by the judicious application of a new kind of windows, which reduce peak widths. When thus sharpened peaks are purely Lorentzian, then simple linear or parabolic regressions allow one to compute their parameters. A Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometric example of such an improvement is presented.

    Notes: The exact determination of electrostatic potential is vital in specifying the resolution in ion-beam focusing devices such as quadrupole mass spectrometers (QMS). Current numerical routines are marked by poor convergence on boundaries and become unwieldy when the number of electrodes, 2n, is greater than four, or when the structure is modified. Using a conformal transformation we have succeeded in finding the exact electrostatic potential distribution everywhere within a QMS which contains four cylindrical electrodes. All the coefficients in the multipole expansion of the potential are readily calculated. The boundary value problem is solved by matching coefficients on the electrode surface, which is a circle embedded in the transformed coordinate frame. We have proven that for every allowed position of the electrode centre, R, there exists a corresponding electrode radius, r, for which the dodecapole term in the potential expansion vanishes. Our analytically obtained relationship between the above-mentioned parameters differs slightly from that in current use. As these parameters are based on an exact solution, their practical use in mass determination may be considerable.

    Notes: Sensitivity in the low-femtomole range with mass resolution greater than 20 000 is demonstrated for several polypeptides analyzed by a mass spectrometer that pairs matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) and Fourier-transform mass spectrometry (FTMS). The compounds investigated were substance P, renin substrate, melittin, the B-chain of bovine insulin, and bovine insulin. Standard solutions of the polypeptides were prepared with 30% acetonitrile + water, and micropipettes were used to transfer small amounts (1-20 fmol) to a sample probe. The samples were embedded in a large excess of matrix material (2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid) and ionized by a pulse from an excimer laser. The FTMS instrument used for these experiments has the MALDI source in a separate chamber outside the magnetic field. Ions are extracted from the source and transported by an RF-only quadrupole ion guide to an FTMS analyzer cell mounted in the homogeneous region of a 6.5 T superconducting magnet. The high sensitivity of MALDI-FTMS is due, in part, to the high transfer efficiency of the ion guide, even for ions with a wide range of kinetic energies. The ion guide is easy to use because there are only two adjustments (RF amplitude and DC offset voltage), and unlike electrostatic ion transport means, alignment of it with the axis of the magnetic field is not critical. The mass resolution and sensitivity of MALDI-FTMS is compared with that of MALDI done with time-of-flight, magnetic sector, and quadrupole iontrap mass spectrometers.

Two types of products were formed. The first type of product includes substituted anilines and adducts of an aryl nitrene with one molecule of diethylamine. The second type of product includes adducts derived by addition of two molecules of diethylamine to ketenimines with elimination of hydrogen fluoride and also products derived from these with subsequent elimination of hydrogen cyanide molecule. These hydrogen cyanide eliminated products appear to have been formed by secondary photolysis of the initially formed adducts.

Previous work in this area has generally limited discussion to mass resolutions of a few thousand. Now that mass spectra of proteins are obtainable with a mass resolution exceeding one million, it is important to be able to conveniently generate theoretical spectra at the same resolution.

    Notes: Natural stable isotope ratios for carbon, hydrogen and oxygen depend on the origin of the studied chemical compound. Such a precept is the basis of the control of the authenticity of food and especially alcoholic beverages. 13C/12C analysis of ethanol as well as 18O/16O determination of water contained in wines from different European countries underline the importance of the photosynthetic pathway as well as of the environmental and climatological conditions of the vine. Interesting results in agreement with isotopic fractionation rules for the geographical origin of the samples were obtained. That encouraged us to propose the establishment of a database for isotopic parameters in wines.

    Notes: Sarafotoxins (SRTXs) form a family of toxic and potent vasoconstrictor peptides of 21 amino acids and two disulfide bonds. They are present in the venom of the burrowing asp Atractaspis engaddensis. We have made two derivatives of the amino acid sequence of SRTX-b, one of the most potent isotoxins, in the solid phase. First, we replaced Ser2 by Thr, to investigate whether, as previously postulated, this change is responsible for the weak activities of SRTXs c and d. Secondly, we replaced Ser2, Asp18 and Val19 respectively by Thr, Gly and He, with a view to generating SRTX-e whose amino acid sequence was deduced from cDNA.Solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) was performed according to the tert-butyloxycarbonyl strategy and the disulfides were paired sequentially using a selective chemistry. The disulfide 1-15 was formed by oxidation of cysteines1,15 with ferricyanide, whereas disulfide 3-11 was made by iodine oxidation of Acm-blocked cysteines3,11. By plasma desorption mass spectrometry (PDMS), we monitored all possible side reactions that occurred during the synthesis. We thus observed a benzyl shift in mass spectra when aspartic and glutamic acid side chains were protected by a benzyl group during the SPPS. This could be circumvented by using instead, a cyclohexyl protecting group. We also noted the oxidation of the methionine and the tryptophan side chain (formation of methionine sulfoxide and oxindole ring of tryptophan) to a small extent during the cleavage peptide/solid phase oxidation of the methionine side chain during the formation of the disulfide 1-15 by ferricyanide. These known side reactions could be avoided by using a mixture of scavengers (ethanedithiol, dimethylsulfide, thioanisole, m-cresol and skatole) and by shortening the ferricyanide oxidation time to one hour. The sequential disulfied bond formation starting from the linear peptide (mono-disulfied and bi-disulfide) was also monitored by PDMS. PDMS therefore proved to be a sensitive analytical method for the measurement of the molecular weights of synthetic or natural peptides (SRTX peptides in this application) in the field of peptide and protein chemistry.

    Notes: Recently published results have reported that mass displacements, which could reach 0.34 u, were observed in a quadrupole mass filter. An interaction between the dipole moment of ions and the quadrupolar RF field was then proposed to explain these mass displacements. We were interested by such an access to ion structure and decided to reproduce these results. Two sets of experiments were performed using two single-stage quadrupole mass spectrometers operated under standard analytical conditions. Studies of the influence of resolution, source pressure and presence of helium or polar gas in the quadrupole enclosure on potential mass displacement detection have been performed. Nevertheless, we never observed significant mass shifts.

    Notes: The absolute vapour pressures over pure C60, C70, fullerite and over the binary C60/C70 system are calculated from ion intensities vs. temperature up to 800 K using the Knudsen effusion mass spectrometric method. The vapour pressures (Pa) of C60 and C70 are given as a function of temperature (K) by the equations: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \begin{array}{l} \log p = - (8276.4 \pm 120)/T + 10.49 \pm 0.14,{\rm for }C_{60} \\ \log p = - (9106.4 \pm 130)/T + 10.70 \pm 0.15,{\rm for C}_{{\rm 70}} \\ \end{array} $$\end{document} Corresponding Second Law enthalpy and entropy changes for sublimation are: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$\begin{array}{l} \Delta H_{{\rm subl}}^0 = 158 \pm 3{\rm kJ}/{\rm mol }\Delta {\rm S}_{{\rm subl}}^{\rm 0} = 105 \pm 1.5{\rm kJ}/{\rm mol}, for C_{60} \\ \Delta H_{{\rm subl}}^0 = 174 \pm 3{\rm kJ}/{\rm mol }\Delta {\rm S}_{{\rm subl}}^{\rm 0} = 109 \pm 1.5{\rm kJ}/{\rm mol, for C}_{{\rm 70}} \\ \end{array} $$\end{document} Results are discussed in terms of sample purity and pretreatment and correlated with data obtained by other authors.

    Notes: A calibration procedure is introduced, which allows one to obtain absolute mass values in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) spectra of polymeric materials, thus avoiding ambiguous mass assignments. The method consists in combining the observed times of flight in a function denoted as ‘modified sum of squares’ (SS2) and in finding the point of minimum for SS2. The procedure takes advantage of the finding that SS2 possesses an extremum property, i.e. it takes its minimum at θ, the mass of the first oligomer appearing in the MALDI-TOF spectrum. The method was tested by recording the MALDI-TOF spectrum of an aminolyzed Nylon 6 and of a glycolized poly(butyleneadipate) (PBA) sample. Nylon 6 was found to be made of a series of oligomers bearing diaminohexamethylene (DAHM) terminal groups. PBA is made of a series of oligomers with butyleneglycol end-groups. The intense peaks seen in the mass spectra are due to sodium-cationized ions, whereas the less-intense peaks are due to potassium-cationized ions. The function SS2 was built for the two samples and a point of minimum was found at the point θ = 817.6 for Nylon 6 and at the point θ = 713.6 for PBA. This finding allowed the interpretation of the mass spectra.

    Notes: Massive-cluster impact (MCI) ionization was found to be capable of producing high secondary-ion yields from biological samples without the use of a liquid matrix. Dry samples of molecules as large as cytochrome c were observed to be efficiently desorbed without significant fragmentation by the MCI beam of glycerol clusters. In addition, signals from protonated molecules retained a significant proportion of their initial intensity even after several minutes exposure to the primary beam. It was determined that these remarkable phenomena are not the result of the build-up of a layer of glycerol caused by the cluster bombardment.

    Notes: A linear time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOFMS) has been designed, constructed, and coupled with a glow discharge source in microsecond pulsed mode (MSPGD). Orthogonal acceleration, a DC quadrupole and deflecting pulse techniques are used to diminish kinetic distribution and the spatial distribution of ions, and for deflecting Ar+ ions in their flight path. Comparison was made in the same discharge source between MSPGD and DC discharge. The continuous ion current is only 0.2 nA in the DC discharge mode, while the peak ion current reaches over 100 nA in the MSPGD mode. In addition, the ratio of the repelled ions to total ions is much higher in MSPGD than with a DC discharge in TOFMS. The mechanism of MSPGD is discussed. A resolving power of 500 was achieved, which is excellent for elemental analysis. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first time that a MSPGD-TOFMS combination has been described. The system is now being further optimized to improve its performance.

    Notes: Ions generated in both continuous and pulsed-mode external ion sources are injected into an open-ended cylindrical Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance ion trap by means of an electrostatic ion guide consisting of concentric cylinder and wire electrodes to which a potential difference is applied. Broadband axialization during ion injection improves ion trapping efficiency by reducing the ion off-axis displacement. Significant improvements in both signal-to-noise ratio and mass resolving power, along with high mass selectivity are demonstrated for ions generated by external Cs+ secondary ion mass spectrometry or by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization.

    Notes: Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry has been succesfully applied in the study of non-enzymatic glycation of different proteins. In the case of bovine serum albumin, glycated by in vitro experiments performed under pseudophysiological conditions, a clear increase in molecular weight is observed with respect to both glucose concentrations and incubation time. The in vitro glycation of ribonuclease with glucose and fructose shows some peculiar differences either in terms of the number of condensed sugar molecules or in terms of the reaction kinetics. The same approach, applied to plasma proteins of healthy and diabetic subjects, provides evidence for the occurence of glycation of human serum albumin for the latter subjects.

    Notes: We found that picolinic acid is a very good matrix for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight mass spectrometry of oligonucleotides, proteins and tRNA. Among the oligonucleotides, picolinic acid was shown to be effective for homo-oligonucleotides, d(G)40 and d(C)60, and for mixed-base oligonucleotides up to 190 bases. In the case of the single-stranded oligonucleotides, and of double-stranded ones as well, only parent ions corresponding to single-stranded DNA were observed. The efficiency for MALDI of oligonucleotides using the picolinic acid matrix was superior to that using 3-hydroxypicolinic acid. MALDI of transfer RNA phenylalanine-specific (tRNAphe), a 76-base ribonucleic acid, was detected with a signal-to-noise ratio of 〉10. By comparison with 3-hydroxypicolinic acid the results with picolinic acid are notably superior for all oligonucleotides.

    Notes: Electrospray mass spectrometry has been applied to ionic inorganic systems such as heteropolyacids in methanol + water (1/1) or acetonitrile + water (1/1) solutions. Negative-ion mass spectra were obtained on four different heteropolyacids. Heteropolymolybdates H3PMo12O40 and H4PMo11VO40 and heteropolytungstates H3PW12O40 and H4SiW12O40 gave ions with different charges. H3PMo12O40 gave ions of m/z 1822, 912 and 608 which correspond respectively to [PMo12O403- + 2H+], [PMo12O403- + H+]2- and [PMo12O40]3- ions. Resolution of 1:2200 has demonstrated the charge of each ion acquired. Furthermore, the isotope distribution of the observed ions was in good agreement with theory. Thus, electrospray mass spectrometry has become a powerful soft ionization technique for the analysis of such ionic compounds, provided they are soluble and stable in the solvent system used.

    Notes: Peptide analysis of cytochrome c using capillary electrophoresis/mass spectrometry was demonstrated to be a rapid, sensitive and useful technique for providing information concerning the location of variation. We analyzed tryptic digests of horse, bovine and dog cytochrome c, and compared the peptide analysis results for information concerning amino acid sequences in proteins. The differences in amino acid sequence were confirmed by taking into consideration that all the other fragments are identical in each map. The use of an untreated capillary column with basic buffer condition (water+acetonitrile+(20 g/L) ammonium carbonate (70/20/10), pH 9.2) had a reproducibility of migration times to within about 2%.

    Notes: Polystyrene macromonomers terminated with methacrylate, vinyl ether, or maleic half ester functionalities were evaluated in free radical initiated copolymerizations with vinyl chloride in aqueous suspension polymerization. Macromers® (M1) terminated with methacrylate disappeared very rapidly in copolymerization with vinyl chloride (M2). The relative reactivity ratio, r2, was determined to be 0.05 in good agreement with literature values of about 0.04. Vinyl ether-terminated Macromers® had unexpectedly uniform reactivity with vinyl chloride in early conversion samples, but macromonomer conversion was incomplete. Macromers® having maleic half ester functionality were incorporated rapidly in vinyl chloride copolymerization at pH 2.5 (r2 = 0.13). However, at pH 10 these Macromers® had reduced reactivity (r2 = 0.34), which improved graft polymer uniformity. These Macromer® copolymerization relative reactivities are shown to be useful in predicting and controlling graft densities and graft polymer heterogeneity which influence morphology, processing, and mechanical properties.

    Notes: ω-Formyl-functionalized polystyrenes can be synthesized in quantitative yield by reacting poly(styryl)lithium (Mn = 2 × 103-8 × 103 g/mol) in benzene with a 0.1-0.4 molar excess of 4-morpholinecarboxaldehyde followed by methanol termination and precipitation into methanol. Narrow molecular weight distribution ω-formyl-functionalized polystyrenes were characterized by hydroxylamine end-group titration, thin layer chromatography and both 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The mechanism of the functionalization was studied by trapping the tetrahedral α-amino alkoxide intermediate with diphenylphosphinic chloride.

    Notes: A long held assumption in hydrocarbon based anionic polymerization involving organolithiums is that the aggregated species are unreactive and thus serve only as reservoirs from which the active singlet species momentarily emerge to participate in the initiation or propagation events. This work demonstrates that contrary to the notion of aggregate dormancy such species can participate in monomer addition. The approach involved freeze-dried vitrified polystyryllithium which was found to be reactive toward butadiene and methanol vapors. The sub-glass transition state of the polystyryllithium eliminates the establishment of the aggregate: singlet equilibrium as a result of the inability of chains to undergo diffusion. Furthermore, it is shown that the lower bound gradient for the dependence of propagation rate on active center concentration, within experimental error, is about 1/5 for the majority of those diene systems where the active center concentration covers at least two decades. A computer evaluation of the propagation rate: active center data was done with the aim of testing and determining the equilibrium constants of these aggregated systems.

    Notes: The effect of varying the rubber molecular weight on the reaction induced phase separation taking place in rubber-modified epoxies is reported. Three butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymers with number-average molecular weights of 2030, 3600 and 6050 g mol-1 were used. The thermosetting polymer was an epoxy based on diglycidylether of bisphenol-A cured with a cycloaliphatic diamine. Increasing the rubber molecular weight showed the following effects: (i) a decrease in the conversion at the cloud point; (ii) a corresponding decrease in the viscosity at the cloud point; (iii) a primary morphology of a low concentration of particles with a large size; (iv) a more complete segregation of the rubber from the matrix leading to a smaller decrease of the glass transition temperature of the system; (v) a decrease in the toughening. The Flory-Huggins lattice model may be used as a simple approximation to describe the phase separation process when varying the rubber molecular weight.

    Notes: A study has been made of radiation-induced grafting of vinyl acetate (VAc) on to (tetrafluoroethylene-perfluorovinyl ether) copolymer (PFA). Effects of grafting conditions such as inhibitor and monomer concentrations and irradiation dose on the grafting yield were investigated. In this grafting system, ammonium ferrous sulphate (Mohr′s salt) was added to the monomer-solvent mixture to minimize the homopolymerization of VAc and the most suitable concentration was found to be 2.0 wt%. It was found that the dependence of the initial grafting rate on monomer concentration is of the order 1.5. The degree of grafting tends to level off at high irradiation doses due to the recombination of formed free radicals without initiating graft polymerization. Some properties of the prepared graft copolymer such as swelling behaviour, electrical conductivity, thermal and mechanical properties were also investigated. The electrical conductivity was improved by hydrolysis of poly(vinyl acetate) in the grafted chains to their respective vinyl alcohols. The tensile properties were improved by grafting; however, the elongation percent decreased. The DTA data showed thermal stability of such graft copolymers for temperatures up to 300°C, but stability decreased at higher temperatures.

    Notes: The kinetics of adsorption of gelatin from its aqueous solution on to silica has been studied at room temperature. The adsorption isotherms were found to be of the Langmuir type. From the adsorption isotherms, the adsorption coefficient, surface coverage and rate constants for adsorption and desorption were evaluated. The rate of adsorption was found to be maximum at the isoelectric point of gelatin and decreased with increase in pH of the adsorption medium. The increased ionic strength of the medium also caused an increase in the rate and amount of adsorption.

    Notes: The dipolar relaxation mechanisms in poly(vinyl acetate) have been studied in detail using the technique of thermally stimulated currents. The papers published in the literature about this subject are very contradictory, particularly with respect to the assignment of the observed discharges to the corresponding motions at the molecular level. This work aims at clarifying these problems. We detected and characterised three different relaxation mechanisms: (1) a low temperature one (around -140°C) which was attributed to local internal rotations in the acetate side-groups; (2) a relaxation whose maximum occurs at 42°C, which corresponds to the glass transition relaxation, and shows a compensation behaviour; (3) an upper glass transition relaxation whose maximum appears at 87°C and was attributed to a liquid-liquid transition. These assignments have been made on the basis of the analysis of the behaviour of the samples when submitted to different thermal and electrical treatments.

    Notes: Leather shavings have been used as filler in short fibre form for nitrile rubber reinforcement. Shavings neutralized with sodium bicarbonate and ammonia showed improved vulcanization characteristics and mechanical properties, whereas sodium hydroxide neutralized shavings exhibited poor properties. Swelling of the vulcanizates in water and 1% NaOH was found to increase with leather loading, whereas in MEK a reversed trend was observed. Thermogravimetric analysis indicates that the thermal stabilities of the vulcanizates fall between those of pure leather and gum nitrile rubber vulcanizate.

    Notes: The optical activity of ten natural-type polymers [poly(α-aminoacids), polysaccharides, proteins and nucleic acids] was measured in solution, as solid powders in suspension, and where possible in the form of films. In some cases the specific rotation of powder samples showed significant differences to the values obtained from solution measurements. The discrepances seem to reflect the arrangements of polymer chains in supermolecular assemblies in the polymer solid state.

    Notes: Writing papers made from kraft softwood pulp and bagasse dissolving pulp were subjected to thermal aging for different time intervals (24, 48, 72, 96 and 120h) and the resulting changes in their chemical, physical and submicroscopic properties were investigated. The crystallinity changes in these pulps during thermal aging were studied by X-ray diffractograms. The carboxyl content of the kraft softwood pulp increased with time of thermal aging up to 96h and then decreased with increasing aging time, while the carboxyl content of bagasse dissolving pulp increased during thermal aging up to 72h and then decreased after this time. The crystallinity of kraft softwood pulp increased gradually during thermal aging. However, in the case of bagasse dissolving pulp the crystallinity increased up to 72h and then decreased. All pulps were characterized by a reduction in the degree of whiteness and chain depolymerization during the time of thermal aging.

    Notes: Two diamines with potential non-linear optical characteristics, (E)-4, 4′-[[[2-(4-pyridinyl)ethenyl]phenyl]methylene]bis[benzenamine] (2a) and (E)-4, 4′-[[[2-(4-pyridinyl)ethenyl]phenyl]methylene]bis [N-ethylbenzenamine] (2b), were condensed with dianhydrides, benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride and pyromellitic dianhydride, to obtain polyamic acids. These polyamic acids were soluble in polar aprotic solvents such as dimethyl formamide and dimethyl acetamide, and could be cast into transparent, tough and flexible films, which on cyclodehydration yield amorphous thermally stable polyimides. Characterisation using IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry are reported.

    Notes: To confirm the reliability of the theory of phase equibria of multicomponent polymer 1/multicomponent polymer 2 systems (i.e. quasi-binary systems) and the method of computer experiment based on this theory (Brit. Polym. J., 23(1990)285; 23(1990)299; Polym. Int., 29(1992)219), could point curves (CPC), two-phase volume ratios (R) and critical solution points (CSP) have been determined experimentally for the quasi-binary mixtures of poly(ethylene oxide) (M¯w = 647, M¯w/M¯n = 1.15; M¯w and M¯n, the weight-average and numberaverage molecular weights, respectively) and poly(propylene oxide) (M¯w = 2028, M¯w/M¯n = 1.08; and Mw = 2987, Mw/Mn = 1.13). The hydroxyl end groups of both polymers were methoxylated in advance by the Cooper & Booth method (Polymer, 18(1977)164). The thermodynamic interaction parameter between both polymers, χ12, and the concentration dependence parameters for the above quasi-binary systems were determined by the method proposed in a previous paper (Brit. Polym. J., 23(1990)299). CPC, R and CSP values calculated on the basis of the theory are in good agreement with the values determined experimentally.

    Notes: Conducting thermoplastic elastomer blends have been synthesised by deposition of polypyrrole in styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) block copolymers containing various amounts of ferric chloride (FeCl3). These blends have phasesegregated morphology with preferenatial deposition of polypyrrole in one of the domains as confirmed by structural investigations using optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy. The electrical resistivity (ρ) for these blends shows a sharp transition in the region of 273 K and is sensitive to small mechanical deformations both in compressions and extension modes. The dependence of ρ on mechanical stress (P) follows a power law of the type ρ ∝ Pn, where n has a value between 3 and 4. These various findings have been explained on the basis of a phase-segregated morphology having highly conducting domains separated by a semiconducting/insulating matrix, together with non-linear conduction processes for charge transport in such heterogeneous materials.

    Notes: The kinetics of liquid crystalline phase transition from the isotropic state to the anisotropic state, which is by analogy termed liquid crystallization, for poly(p-benzamide)(PBA)/H2SO4 and PBA/Nylon 6/H2SO4 systems was investigated by the depolarized light intensity (DLI) technique and polarized light microscopy (PLM). The experimental data were analysed using the Avrami equation. The n value, according to the Avrami equation, is about 1 for both PBA/H2SO4 and PBA/Nylon 6/H2SO4 systems, which suggests that the liquid crystallization of PBA/H2SO4 and PBA/Nylon 6/H2SO4 systems is a process of instantaneous nucleation with one-dimensional growth. The introduction of Nylon 6 into PBA/H2SO4 does not have any significant effect on the Avrami exponent n. The results also show that the Avrami exponent n and the half-time for the liquid crystallization are temperature dependent.

    Notes: Anionic ring-opening polymerization of the cis and trans isomers of 1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-tris(3′,3′,3′-trifluoropropyl)cyclotrisiloxane (cis- and trans-F3) and their mixtures was conducted under conditions that suppressed siloxane bond redistribution in order to preserve stereoregularity formed in the resulting poly[methyl(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)siloxane] (PMTFPS). Proton decoupled 19F NMR of the resulting polymers was interpreted by assuming that the original stereoconfiguration of the monomer was preserved and that the monomer inserted with a roughly equal probability of forming meso or racemic configurations relative to the configuration of the reacting chain end. Polymers from cis-F3 were solid and crystalline at room temperature while the more typical polymers from mixtures of isomers containing greater than 50% trans-F3 were liquid and amorphous.

    Notes: The adsorption behaviour of some ethoxylated alkylphenol-formaldehyde polymeric non-ionic surfactants, at the aqueous solution-air interface, was investigated by measuring the surface tension (γ) as a function of concentration (C) at four temperatures. By applying the Gibbs adsorption equation to the γ versus C data, the adsorption isotherms of these polymeric surfactants were obtained.Surface concentration (Λ) of the investigated polymeric non-ionics was found to increase with decreasing temperature and decreasing hydrophobic group (R) chain length, while varying the length of polyoxyethylene chain (%EO) appeared to have an insigificant effect. Effects of temperature, %EO and chain length R on the surface pressure (π) of the surfactant solutions were also investigated.

    Notes: The crystallization and melting behaviour of two sets of ethylene/1-butene copolymers have been analysed by DSC. The samples, with comonomer content in the range from 0 to 21.5 mol%, were obtained by industrial processes using both Mg/Ti-based catalyst systems. The composition dependences of melting and crystallization temperatures were found to be strictly affected by the catalyst type. Moreover, logarithmic plots of the melting and crystallization enthalpy as a function of the ethylene content (mol%) in the copolymers fitted linear relationships whose slopes have been related to the critical sequence length of crystallizable ethylene units, depending on the catalytic system. These results are compared with those reported in the literature for ethylene/1-butene copolymers synthesized by other catalysts and are accounted for by a different distribution of the comonomer units in the macromolecules of the two sets of samples.

    Notes: Dynamic tensile and shear moduli measurements have been carried out on highly oriented thermotropic liquid crystalline copolymers formed by random copolymerization of 2-hydroxy-6-naphthoic acid, terephthalic acid and p-aminophenol. This liquid crystalline copolymer is known as HNATA. Application of the aggregate model of units of structure gives rise to an estimation of the orientation angle θ = 5° and a chain modulus Ec = 230 GPa. The fall in tensile modulus with increasing temperature is related to two factors: a decrease in the intrinsic chain modulus and a reduction in the shear modulus.

    Notes: The influence of the chemical modification of the hydroxyl groups of phenoxy resin (PH) by benzoate, acetate and methoxy groups on its miscibility with poly(2-vinyl pyridine) (P2VPy) is investigated. Both DSC and FTIR results permit the definition of three distinctive regions: up to 40% modification all 50/50 blends are miscible; between 40 and 55% modification all blends present partial miscibility and at higher than 55% modification the blends are totally immiscible. Specific interactions between the hydroxyl groups of PH and the amine groups of P2VPy are put forward as an explanation for these observations.

    Notes: The dielectric characteristics of cyanoethylated cellulose samples having different degrees of substitution have been investigated at different frequencies from 0.1 to 10 KHz and at temperatures from -40°C to 180°C. Two relaxation processes, designated as α and β in order of decreasing temperature, were recognised. The low temperature β-relaxation is expected to be due to local motion of anhydroglucose rings, while the α-relaxation is related to the side group motion. The data obtained are discussed in terms of the progressive destruction of the fibre structure, together with the increase of side group polarity due to cyanoethylation.

    Notes: The optical activities of poly-(R)-lactide, poly-(S)-lactide, poly(β-hydroxybutyrate) and two β-hydroxyvalerate copolymers were measured in solution, as solid powders in suspension, and where possible, as films. Poly-(+)-3-methyl-1-pentene was also reinvestigated. In some cases the specific rotation values of powder samples showed significant differences from the values of the solution measurements. The discrepancies of the data observed seem to reflect the local environment of the polymer chains in supermolecular assemblies and consequently the solid state structure(morphology)of the polymers.The circular dichroism (CD) spectra of the polymers were also measured in solution and in the form of their films. For comparison, the CD spectra of the naturally occurring protein casein and of the synthetic polypeptide poly-(L)-proline were also measured.

    Notes: The observation of various features of living polymerizations (‘theoretical’ molecular weights, narrow molecular weight distribution) in a large number of carbocationic polyerizations has led to the conclusion that termination and transfer were suppressed in these ‘living’ systems, while they played a predominant role in the ‘classic’ carbocationic polymerizations. This suppression has been attributed to the presence of new types of active sites, such as ‘stretched’ covalent bonds or ‘stabilized’ carbocations.In the present article, a comparison of the data observed with the ‘classic’ and the ‘living’ systems shows that the active sites are similar, with only a change in the relative proportion of carbocationic species, which reduces the rate and favors complete initiation. This means that these ‘living’ systems are generally only apparently living, since termination and transfer reactions also occur and are hidden because the molecular weights of the ‘living’ polymers are typically low. Transfer and termination may, however, be considerably reduced or even suppressed by working at very low temperatures, as is also the case for ‘classic’ systems.
