Résumé

Because of its high molecular complexity, ultra high-resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR-MS) is used to characterize heavy petroleum distillates. However, high peak capacity can also be obtained with ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS). In this case, the additional separation dimension allows for the compensation of the lower resolving power of the time-of-flight mass analyzer. The processing and elemental composition assignments from such bidimensional IM-MS data cannot be achieved with conventional software packages. PetroOrg, a new software package, was used to compare IM-MS data sets recorded with atmospheric solid analysis probe (ASAP) and three other atmospheric pressure ionization sources. The choice of the ionization source is indeed very critical as it defines the type of compounds that can be detected from mixtures. Electrospray ionization (ESI) is very specific to polar compounds and yields relatively simple data sets that can be readily attributed to nitrogen containing compounds allowing their speciation. On the other hand, gas phase ionization methods such as APCI, APPI, and ASAP yielded valuable information concerning thiophenic species. However, in this case the IM-MS peak capacity is not sufficient to separate all isobaric species. It is worth noting that ASAP and APPI yielded similar mass spectra although the ASAP ionization mechanism is believed to be closer to that of APCI. Most likely this is due to the absence of solvent with ASAP that reinforces charge exchange processes and therefore affords low ionization discrimination such as with APPI.
