Hexoses are mainly found in nature in the pyranose form (6-membered ring). Yet, furanose forms (5-membered ring) are observed in some rare polysaccharides. Using IRMPD spectroscopy (InfraRed Multiple Photon Dissociation), we propose a straightforward diagnostic of the ring-size of N-acetyl galactosamine ions. The furanose form of N-acetyl galactosamine was synthesized and its protonated ion was isolated in an ion trap to measure its gas phase vibrational spectrum by IRMPD. Comparison with the IRMPD spectrum of its pyranose counterpart reveals that they have distinctive optical fingerprints. This new MS-based diagnostic opens the way to facile identification of the ring-size in oligosaccharides. Our experimental data also provide new insights to support the theoretical description of the conformational behavior of the furanose ring, which is notoriously more flexible than the pyranose form but remains difficult to assess.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
