FAB CAD MS/MS(Fast Atom Bombardment Collision Activated Dissociation Mass Spectrometry/Mass Spectrometry) was used to study different degree of bond stability according to the linkage positions of alkali cationized (Na+, Li+, K+, NH4+) stereoisomeric and synthetic oligosaccharides. The alkali metal cations were much more stable, requiring over -40 eV of collision energy vs. only -10 eV for the protonated forms. Of the cations, the potassium cationized trisaccharides were more stable than the others. They would not yield fragment ions under the conditions of collision available in triple quadrupole. Other cationized species exhibited decreasing stability in the series Na+ > Li+ > NH4+ using 0.8 mTorr argon pressure in the collision cell. Metal cations of the oligosaccharides maintained charge principally on the amino sugar as shown by shift of all the fragment ions containing the amino sugar. The reason for the higher stability of the metal cationized form is the formation of crown ether-like bond around metal cations, N-acetyl group on GlcNAc and oxygens on fucose moiety. Depending on the metal sizes and the conformation of linkage-isomeric region, cationized species gave linkage dependent fragment patterns and exhibited stability in the series 1-6 > 1-4 > 1-3 linkage.
