Polyesters prepared from the same diol, 2-butyl-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol, but different phthalic acid isomers, phthalic, isophthalic, and terephthalic acid, were characterized by collision-induced dissociation electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (CID-ESI-FT-ICR) and postsource-decay matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (PSD-MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry.
