Abstract
This survey covers the mass spectrometric properties of organosulfur c ompounds containing the sulfide, disulfide, and sulfone functional gro ups. Attention is paid to the uni- and bimolecular chemistry of both p ositive and negative ions, as well as to the reactions of ions, with s ulfur containing species: in the gas phase. The role of other function al groups on the decomposition of organic S, SO, SO2 containing gaseou s ions is also discussed. The selection of sulfur containing compounds includes many naturally occurring and pharmaceutically significant pr oducts, that will be presented in the following order: alkaloids, amin o acids, peptides, proteins, carbohydrates, steroids, and metabolites.
