Topics:

  • What are Organophosphorus Pesticides (OPs)?
  • What is the relevance of the interactions of OPs

with transition metal ions?

  • What information can Electrospray Ionisation Mass

Spectrometry (ESI‐MS, ESI‐MS/MS) provide?

  • Transition metal ions are tightly bound to soil solids
  • They can be very mobile if bound to colloids (<1 um)
  • Distribution with ground‐ and surface‐ waters

Presence of >10 pesticides and heavy metal ions in Rankala Lake (India) reported at medium to high ppb levels

  • Q1: Single isotope selection
  • In‐source fragmentation:

allows “pseudo‐MS3”

  • TOF‐analyzer: accurate mass

measurement (< 5 ppm)

  • Direct infusion of low μM

solution mixtures at pH 4

Charge reduction mechanisms in ESI:

  • Predominantly detection of singly charged ions

Me2+ An‐ An‐ L

  • 1. [Me2+ + L + An‐]
  • verall charge: +1
  • 2. [Me2+ + (L‐H)‐]
  • verall charge: +1
  • 3. Me2+ +An‐  Me+ + An*

(Hg has a lower second ionisation potential compared to Cu)

Summary:

  • ESI‐MS and ESI‐MS/MS gives insights into structures of

rapidly formed transition metal ion – OP complexes

  • Observed Cu(II)  Cu(I) charge state reduction in

gas‐phase allows statements on removable proton locations in solution complexes

  • Ag+ binds to S > N, Cu2+ binds N > S, Hg2+ binds S>>>N

Future Work:

  • Studies of interaction of transition metal ions bound to highly

mobile colloidal particles with OPs

  • Studies of fate, distribution of OPs and transition metal ions in

the environment

  • Development of detoxification strategies of OP stockpiles
