Positive ion mass spectra obtained by conventional electron impact and by methane chemical ionization were compared with the negative ion mass spectra of 16 typical organophosphorus pesticides using methane, a methane-oxygen mixture, and oxygen as enhancement/reagent gases. In the negative ion spectra, phosphate and phenate anions typically carry a large fraction of the ion current. Displacement of chlorine by oxygen is noted in some cases, and migration of aryl groups from oxygen to sulfur is occasionally noted. Ion-molecule reactions between two species derived from sample molecules have been observed. The sensitivity of the negative ion techniques for the pesticides examined is greater than conventional electron impact or methane positive chemical ionization techniques, and can be up to 800 times more sensitive for some compounds.

Negative ion mass spectra organic nitriles have been determined using 1 Torr of methane moderator/reagent gas in a chemical ionization source. The spectra contain abundant (M – 1)− ions, and fragmentations are minimal. Ion/molecule reactions with residual oxygen, methane, and between sample molecules and ions form diverse products with low abundances relative to the ( M – 1)−. Detection limits are comparable with positive ion methods, and for selected compounds, can be several orders of magnitude lower.

Negative ion formation by electron impact has been studied in nitromethane, nitroethane, nitrobenzene, tetranitromethane, ethylnitrite and ethylnitrate. Appearance potentials, ionization efficiency curves and kinetic energies of negative ions were measured by using a Fox ion source. The electron affinities of C2H5O and of C (NO2)3 are discussed as well as the energetics of processes which yield NO2-. The electron capture in nitrobenzene and tetranitromethane leads to molecular ions [C6H5NO2~ in high, C (NO2)4 in very low intensity] besides many fragment ions. A number of product ions from negative ion-molecule reactions has also been found.
