Systematic discrimination of heptane isomers with femtosecond laser linear time of flight mass spectrometry

Abstract

The dissociative ionization processes of heptane molecule with nine isomers have been investigated and presented experimentally in detail by courtesy of femtosecond laser mass spectrometry technique with a fundamental wavelength of 800 nm and 90 fs pulse duration in this study. It has been aimed to show that the classification of heptane isomers using factor analysis as statistical method reducing the dimension of obtained data. The main mass ratio of heptane isomers is known as m/z 100 which is obtained. The dissociation process on the parent molecule was dominant at the laser intensity about 1.42 x 1014 W/cm2 used for all isomers. The ions obtained by the breakdown of the main ion peak were primarily determined as factors which were clearly distinguished from each other according to factor 1 and factor 2 axes by applying factor analysis.
