In this thesis, we investígate both the intrinsic chemical reactivity (gas-phase protonation) and fragmentation mechanisms of hydroxybenzophenone isomers: ortho-, meta- and para- compounds denoted as 2, 3 and 4 respectively. Gas phase proton-affinity (PA) and basicity (GB) have been determined experimentally ap- plying Extended Kinetic Cooks Method (EKCM) with a mass spectrometer provided with an electrospray source (ESI-MS). We found out that proton affinities, measured in KJ/mol, keep the next relation: PA(2) = 901.1 ± 8.4 < PA(3) = 903.4 ± 8.4 < PA(4) = 912.6 ± 8.4. The previous outcome reflects the higher proton affinity for 4 than for either 2 or 3. Fragmentation experiments of protonated isomers (2H+, 3H+ and 4H+) were carried out using CID (“Collision induced dissociation”) technique coupled to mass spectrometer ESI- MS. Obtained spectra showed that the fragmentation patterns included C7O2H+ (m/z= 121) and C7OH+ (m/z=105) cations, with a ratio typical to each isomer considered. These frag¬mentation patterns allow an isomeric recognition or unambiguous identification of the stud- ied isomers. The experimental results were rationalized and elucidated by means of computational DFT calculations at B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. This computational methodology also allowed to formulate fragmentation mechanisms, where the dynamics of the proton transfer processes studied included stable thermodynamic and transitional states.
