This report reviews the second quarter progress of a new project to examine the chemical environment of organic sulfur in the polymeric matrix of Illinois coal by laser desorption mass spectrometry inside a modified ion trap mass spectrometer. This project is developing new laser desorption and ionization schemes for coal which preserve the polymeric matrix, will compare mass spectra of whole coal with its separated macerals, and will analyze organic sulfur in the polymeric matrix of coal.
