Petroporphyrin compositional analysis of a heavy crude oil has been realized by isolation and subsequent ESI-FT-ICR mass spectrometric analysis of the porphyrin-containing fractions. Vanadium octaethyl (V=O(II)OEP) and nickel octaethyl (Ni(II)OEP) porphyrin standards were analyzed to determine favorable electrospray ionization conditions and provide insight as to the molecular species present (e.g., adducts, multimers). Standard V=O(II)OEP and Ni(II)OEP solutions revealed the presence of both monomer and dimer species with a greater relative abundance of monomers. In contrast, mass spectral analysis of a porphyrin fraction from Cerro Negro crude oil was dominated by dimeric species. MS3 analysis identified a dioctylphthalate (DOP) contaminant, likely introduced during fractionation of the crude oil. DOP-porphyrin complexes and porphyrin-porphyrin dimers were then identified. Infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) of dimeric species produced the corresponding monomers with minimal fragmentation. The monomeric petroporphyrins were analyzed to reveal the metal (Ni(II) or V=O(II)), porphyrin type (e.g., etio vs. DPEP), and distribution of alkylation.Key words: petroporphyrin, porphyrin, petroleum, electrospray ionization, mass spectrometry, Fourier transform, ion cyclotron resonance, ICR, FT-ICR, FTMS.
