Abstract:
1. A method comprising: producing and expelling analyte ions from a macroporous metal organic polymer matrix comprising an analyte composition, wherein the macroporous metal organic polymer matrix comprises a polymer prepared from precursors of the formula (RO) wherein: x is an integer from 1 to 4; y is an integer from 0 to 4; z is an integer from 0 to 4; wherein at least one of y or z is 1 or greater; O is oxygen; M is aluminum, barium, antimony, calcium, chromium, copper, erbium, germanium, iron, lead, lithium, phosphorus, potassium, silicon, tantalum, tin, titanium, vanadium, zinc or zirconium; R is individually hydrogen, alkyl, substituted alkyl, aryl, substituted aryl, allyl, substituted allyl, vinyl, substituted vinyl, propargyl, substituted propargyl, arylalkyl, substituted arylalkyl, heteroalkyl, substituted heteroalkyl, heteroaryl, substituted heteroaryl, heteroarylalkyl, substituted heteroarylalkyl, acyl, substituted acyl, alkoxycarbonyl, substituted alkoxycarbonyl, vinyl carbonyl, substituted vinyl carbonyl, propargyl carbonyl, substituted propargyl carbonyl, aryl, substituted aryl, arylalkyl or substituted arylalkyl; and R analyzing the analyte ions by mass spectrometry.
