Abstract

Chapter 4 discusses a variety of experimental methods and introduces instrumentation for the study of gas-phase ions and ion-molecule chemistry in general and of ion attachment processes in particular, with an emphasis on mass spectrometry (MS) methods. The section starts with a discussion on common methods to generate gas-phase alkali metal ions, to be applied in various ion-attachment experiments. Subsequently, (tandem) MS methods are discussed that enable the investigation of the structure of ions and the results of ion-molecule reactions. Separate sections are presented for beam instruments and ion-trapping instruments. In some cases, these instruments can be used to perform ion-molecule reactions as part of the measurement protocol. Emphasis is put on commercial available MS and MS– MS instruments. In subsequent sections, various other tools are discussed, that may be combined with MS and allow the study of gas-phase reactions of ions. These tools comprise (a) flowing-afterglow methods (FA-MS), including derived methods like selected-ion flow tubes (SIFT-MS) and proton-transfer reaction devices (PTRMS), (b) drift tubes, ion-mobility spectrometry (IMS) and IMS–MS, and (c) highpressure MS instruments. The text provides ample references for further reading.
