Abstract

Previous studies have shown that the gas-phase fragmentation of the retinal chromophore after S0-S1 photoexcitation results in a prominent fragment of mass 248 which cannot be explained by the cleavage of any single bond along the polyene chain. It was therefore theorized that the fragmentation mechanism involves a series of isomerizations and cyclization processes, and two mechanisms for these processes were suggested. Here we used isotope labeling MS-MS to provide conclusive support for the fragmentation mechanism suggested by Coughlan et al. (J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 2014, 5, 3195).
