Radically simplifying the Henry function.

Abstract

We recently established that every ion has two radii - a geometrical one and an electrokinetic one. Using this principle, and in accordance with Henry's method of determining his function, f(ka), we have discovered that the Henry function can be radically simplified. The graphs of the proposed equation are plotted at different argument values. They are identical with the graphs plotted according to the Henry function.

Secondary ion emission from solutions: time dependence and surface phenomena.

The temporal behavior of FAB mass spectra from glycerol solutions of tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (C14H29-N(CH3)3Br, TTAB) and tetraethylammonium iodide (TEAI) was investigated. FAB spectra of the TTAB solution displayed a continuous decrease in TTA+ with time. Spectra obtained from the TEAI solution were initially invariant for several minutes and then displayed a gradual increase in the relative abundance of TEA+ to a maximum, followed by a precipitous drop in ion intensity. Secondary ion images of droplets of TTAB solution showed that emission of both TTA+ and glycerol secondary ions was homogeneous across the sample. Secondary ion images of droplets of TEAI solution showed heterogeneous and segregated emission of both TEA+ and protonated glycerol. Results from the FAB spectra and the secondary ion images were correlated and rationalized on the basis of surface tension-induced mass transport and matrix evaporation.

Improvements in ion-trap chemical-ionization performance.

Ion-trap chemical-ionization performance has been improved by application of a modified scan function for the rejection of the undesired electron-ionization-like (EI-like) ions formed at the beginning of the reaction ionization period. The net effect of this software modification to the automatic reaction control is to produce chemical ionization (CI) spectra that are no longer adulterated with concentration-dependent EI-like ions. Under such improved conditions, CI spectra from an ion trap can now be directly compared with CI spectra produced on conventional quadrupole and magnet-scanning instruments.
