Interpretation of MS-MS Mass Spectra of Drugs and Pesticides

Provides comprehensive coverage of the interpretation of LC–MS–MS mass spectra of 1300 drugs and pesticides
Provides a general discussion on the fragmentation of even-electron ions (protonated and deprotonated molecules) in both positive-ion and negative-ion modes
This is the reference book for the interpretation of MS–MS mass spectra of small organic molecules
Covers related therapeutic classes of compounds such as drugs for cardiovascular diseases, psychotropic compounds, drugs of abuse and designer drugs, antimicrobials, among many others
Covers general fragmentation rule as well as specific fragmentation pathways for many chemical functional groups
Gives an introduction to MS technology, mass spectral terminology, information contained in mass spectra, and to the identification strategies used for different types of unknowns
