Negative Ion Chemical Ionization

This study reports the investigation of some unusual adduct ions of hydroxide and oxygen atoms in both negative-ion chemical ionization (NCI) and collisionally-activated dissociation (CAD) processes in an external-source ion trap mass spectrometer. The [M + OH]− and [M + OH – Cl]− adduct ions in the NCI spectrum of 4,5-dichlorophthalic anhydride are attributed to an ion/molecule reaction due to the presence of trace amounts of water. The formation of the unusual [M + O – Cl]− ions during CAD of the M− ions from 3,6-and 4,5-dichlorophthalic anhydride isomers is attributed to reactive collisions of the fragment ions with residual oxygen.

Abstract. An airborne chemical ionization ion trap mass spectrometer instrument (CI-ITMS) has been developed for tropospheric and stratospheric fast in-situ measurements of PAN (peroxyacetyl nitrate) and PPN (peroxypropionyl nitrate). The first scientific deployment of the FASTPEX instrument (FASTPEX = Fast Measurement of Peroxyacyl nitrates) took place in the Arctic during 18 missions aboard the DLR research aircraft Falcon, within the framework of the POLARCAT-GRACE campaign in the summer of 2008. The FASTPEX instrument is described and characteristic properties of the employed ion trap mass spectrometer are discussed. Atmospheric data obtained at altitudes of up to ~12 km are presented, from the boundary layer to the lowermost stratosphere. Data were sampled with a time resolution of 2 s and a 2σ detection limit of 25 pmol mol−1. An isotopically labelled standard was used for a permanent online calibration. For this reason the accuracy of the PAN measurements is better than ±10% for mixing ratios greater than 200 pmol mol−1. PAN mixing ratios in the summer Arctic troposphere were in the order of a few hundred pmol mol−1 and generally correlated well with CO. In the Arctic boundary layer and lowermost stratosphere smaller PAN mixing ratios were observed due to a combination of missing local sources of PAN precursor gases and efficient removal processes (thermolysis/photolysis). PPN, the second most abundant PAN homologue, was measured simultanously. Observed PPN/PAN ratios range between ~0.03 and 0.3.
