Abstract: | A new technique involving the addition of a compound to the analyte to serve as a source of "reagent" ions has been developed for negative-ion laser mass spectrometry. This "solid state chemical ionization" leads to ions characteristic of the analyte, owing to ion-molecule reactions between the "reagent" ion and the neutral analyte in the laser-generated plume. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons show formation of an ion corresponding to (M + O - H)(-) in their negative-ion laser mass spectra when mixed with compounds such as sym-trinitrobenzene, sodium nitrate and sodium peroxide. NO(-)(2), O(-), and O(-)(2) serve as "reagent" ions in these compounds. Formation of (M + Cl)(-) is seen in the laser mass spectra of glycosides mixed with hexachlorobenzene. Chloride serves as the "reagent" ion in this case. |
