Dynamically correct (i.e., instrument-independent) branching ratios can be measured under single-collision conditions in tandem mass spectrometers incorporating RF-only quadrupole collision cells. The absolute branching ratios were measured as a function of the center-of-mass interaction energy ECM for the collisionally activated dissociation (CAD) of CH3CO+ (m/z43) from several source compounds (ethanol, oxirane), and CH3CO-X (where X = H, CH3, CH3CH2, CH3CO, CH3COCH2, and C6H5)). The energy dependences of the branching ratios for C2H3O+ from CH3CO-X source compounds are quite distinct from those observed for C2H3O+ from ethanol or ethylene oxide, or for the C3H+7 ions (also m/z 43) from n-pentane. Hence, one can use the CAD of m/z 43 to distinguish CH3CO-X compounds from other source compounds, including sources of C3H7+ ions. Therefore, the characteristic branching ratios of ionic substructures may provide for tandem mass spectrometry a „fingerprinting“ capability analogous to the use of group frequencies in infrared spectroscopy.
