Nth-generation product ion

IUPAC RECOMMENDATIONS 2013
Nth-generation product ion
Deprecated: granddaughter ion. Serial product ions from dissociation or bimolecular reaction of selected precursor ions where n refers to the number of stages of dissociation or bimolecular reaction in a series of consecutive reactions that involve successive product ions. Note 1: Given the sequential fragmentation scheme: M1+ ➞ M2+ ➞ M3+ ➞ M4+ ➞ M5+ M4+ is the precursor ion of M5+, a 1st-generation product ion of M3+, a 2nd-generation product ion of M2+, and a 3rd-generation product ion of M1+.
