This dissertation expounds growing insight of the electrospray droplet ionization mechanism following ablation of dried hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules using femtosecond laser pulses and mass analysis of the gas phase ions. Both hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules were laser vaporized into an electrospray solvent opposite in polarity revealing appreciable ion intensity for all samples in contrast to ESI-MS and DESI measurements were solubility of the analyte in the spray solvent is a prerequisite. Quantitative analysis of equimolar protein solutions was established using LEMS reporting over three decades of quantitave response with little evidence of ion suppression. In contrast, ESI-MS measurements of similar equimolar protein solutions revealed severe ion suppression eliminating ion current from one of the protein analytes. Finally, the nature of an analyte following nonresonant laser vaporization has been the subject of debate. Aqueous trypsin was laser vaporized into an electrospray solvent containing either buffer or acid with substrate. LEMS measurements using buffer revealed enzyme-substrate intermediate charge states and continued enzymatic activity while the lack of enzyme-substrate intermediates and stymied enzymatic activity observed using acid suggests nonresonant laser vaporization preserves solution phase structure. This dissertation also extends considerably the use of LEMS for identification and characterization of energetic materials in their pre- and post-blast forms without sample preparation. The use of mulivarate analysis for the classification of large sample sets was also demonstrated showing high fidelity assignment of commercial formulations to their manufacturer. Five unburnt smokeless powders investigated using LEMS revealed unique combinations of organic molecules such as stabilizers and plasticizers using a simple electrospray solvent. Principal component analysis (PCA) provided exact classification of the mass spectra with respect to the manufacturer of the ordinance. LEMS measurements were then obtained from five commercial gunshot residue samples, or post-blast smokeless powder, revealing trace amounts of organics such as the stabilizers and large quantities of inorganic barium originating from the primer. Principal component analysis (PCA) again provided exact classification of the gunshot residue mass spectra with respect to the manufacturer of the ordinance. The use of a common transition metal complexation agent enabled full characterization of eight gunshot residue samples to include the heavy metals contained in the primer and the organics such as the stabilizers and plasticizers without any sample preparation or pre-concentration procedures. Principal component analysis (PCA) again provided high fidelity classification of the gunshot residue mass spectra with respect to the manufacturer of the ordinance after mass analysis with LEMS. Finally, highly energetic formulations such as composition 4 (C-4) and detonation cord subjected to nonresonant femtosecond laser vaporization enabled full characterization of these complex compositions identifying binders, stabilizers, the explosive ingredient and age-related decomposition derivative signature molecules with appreciable ion current detected using both positive and negative ion modes.

This dissertation elucidates a greater understanding of the vaporization and electrospray post-ionization mechanisms when using femtosecond laser pulses for desorption of surface molecules and electrospray ionization for capture and mass analysis of the gas phase ions. The internal energy deposition from nonresonant vaporization with femtosecond laser pulses was measured using dried and liquid samples of p-substituted benzylpyridinium ions and peptides. In the comparison of the experiments of using 800 nm and 1042 nm laser pulses, it was found that there are different vaporization mechanisms for dried and liquid samples. It was established that LEMS is a "soft" mass analysis technique as it resulted in comparable internal energy distributions to ESI-MS with one caveat; multiphoton excitation of dried samples results in extensive fragmentation at higher pulse energies. The quantitative aspects of the laser electrospray mass spectrometry (LEMS) technique were established using various multicomponent mixtures of small biomolecules. Experiments with LEMS resulted in similar quantitative characteristics to ESI-MS except that ESI-MS demonstrated a greater degree of ion suppression when using higher concentrations, particularly in the four-component mixture. The lack of ion suppression in the LEMS measurements was due to the ~1% neutral capture efficiency and most likely not a result of nonequilibrium partitioning. This was supported by the excess charge limit not being surpassed in the LEMS experiments and the quantitative analysis requiring the use of response factors. This dissertation also expanded upon the use of multivariate analysis for the classification of samples that were directly mass analyzed without any sample preparation using LEMS. A novel electrospray complexation mixture using cationic pairing agents, a lipid, and sodium acetate enabled the simultaneous detection of positive, neutral and negative charged features of inorganic-based explosive residues in a single experiment. This complexation mixture also enabled the detection of new features from an RDX-based propellant mixture. Principal component analysis (PCA) proved reliable for accurate classifications of the explosive mixtures. PCA was also used for accurate classification of eight phenotypes of Impatiens plant flower petals after mass analysis with LEMS. The PCA loading values were used to identify the key biomarkers in the classification. These important mass spectral features were identified as the biologically-relevant anthocyanins, which are phytochemicals that are responsible for the color of the flower petals.
