Selective self-ion/molecule reactions in both external and internal source ion trap mass spectrometers.
Novel results on the selective self-ion/molecule reactions (SSIMR) in both external and internal source ion trap mass spectrometers are demonstrated. Selective self-ion/molecule reaction product ions were produced between the oxygenated and nitrogenated crown ethers. For the oxygenated crown ethers, self-ion/molecule reactions lead to the formation of the protonated ions, adduct ions of fragments ([M + F](+)) and [M + H(3)O](+), while the nitrogenated crown ethers produce [M + H](+), [M + CH](+) and [M + C(2)H(3)](+) ions.
