Abstract
Infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy combined with theoretical vibrational spectra provides a powerful tool for probing structure. This technique has been used to probe the structure of protonated cyclic AG and the b(2)(+) ion from AGG. The experimental spectrum for protonated cyclo AG compares very well with the theoretical spectra for a diketopiperazine. The spectrum corresponds best to a combination of two structures protonation at the alanine and glycine amide oxygens. The experimental spectrum for the b(2)(+) ion from protonated AGG matches best to the theoretical spectrum for an oxazolone structure protonated on the ring nitrogen. In particular, the carbonyl stretching band at 1970 cm(-1) is blue-shifted by approximately 200 cm(-1) compared to the experimental spectrum for protonated cAG, indicating that these two structures are distinct. This is the first time that an IRPD spectrum of a b(2)(+) ion has been obtained and, for this ion, the oxazolone structure proposed based on prior calculations and experiments is confirmed by the spectroscopic method.
