Abstract

Polystyrenes with various end groups were analyzed by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). These end groups were obtained by termination of the active anionic group by sulfonate or chlorosilane derivatives. Characteristic end group fragments for each sulfonate derivative were observed. On the one hand, for PS capped by methyl sulfonate, or -(CH(2))(4)-O-SO(2)-CH(3), almost complete end group fragment is observed at m/z 95 and a [O-SO(2)-CH(3)](-) molecular structure. On the other hand, when PS is terminated by silyl methyl sulfonate, or -Si(CH(3))(2)-(CH(2))(3)-O-SO(2)-CH(3), the most characteristic fragment in the fingerprint secondary ion mass spectrum is located at m/z 153 with [Si(CH(3))(2)-O-SO(2)-CH(3)](+) and the complete end group peak, [Si(CH(3))(2)-(CH(2))(3)-O-SO(2)-CH(3)](+), at m/z 201, is absent. According to the molecular structure, characteristic end group secondary ions can be emitted as complete or rearranged fragments. Various silylalkyl alcohol or sulfonate functionalities are analyzed and fragmentation pathways are discussed. To our knowledge, this is the first time that such rearrangement at silyl functions has been observed and demonstrated in fingerprint secondary ion mass spectra.
