Methoxymethylbenzoguanamine resins were analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization timeof-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). In the case of MALDI-TOF-MS measurements, they could not be characterized because fragmentation occurred considerably. On the ESI-MS measurement, optimization of needle voltage, cone voltage, and cationizing agent made their molecular-related ions intense with little fragmentation. Cluster ions were formed owing to hydrogen bond among their complex components. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) was used to fractionate the resins. As a result, di#erent oligomer components could be characterized in detail.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
