Nitrogen Rule: If the nominal molecular weight of an analyte appears to be an even mass number, the compound contains an even number of nitrogen atoms (or no nitrogen atoms). On the other hand, if the nominal molecular weight of an analyte appears to be an odd mass number, the com- pound contains an odd number of nitrogen atoms. | TABLE 7-5.

The characteristic isotopic patterns resulting from combinations of the isotope peaks can be used to ascertain elemental composition of the corresponding ion. Nitrogen Rule. If the nominal molecular weight of an analyte appears to be an even mass number the compound contains an even number of nitrogen atoms or no nitrogen atoms . On the other hand if the nominal molecular weight of an analyte appears to be an odd mass number the compound contains an odd number of nitrogen atoms. This so-called Nitrogen Rule is very useful for determining the nitrogen content of an unknown compound. In the case of Verapamil Scheme 1 the molecular weight of the compound is 420Da indicating an even number of nitrogen atoms in the molecule. Hydrogen Deuterium H D Exchange. The exchange of hydrogen for deuterium in organic molecules has been used in mass spectrometry for structural studies in both solution phase and gas phase. It also has wide applications
