The fragmentation behavior of protonated α-CD was characterized by two pathways: direct decomposition of [α-CD + H]+ and decomposition of the [DP6 - OH]+ open structure. Differences in the relative abundances of product ions were explained by the different fragmentation pathways of [α-CD + H]+ and [DP6 - OH]+ .
