چکیده
The model microfield method has been applied to the broadening of spectral lines emitted by multiply charged hydrogenic ions in pure and binary mixtures. Special attention is paid to the calculation of the ionic microfield distribution function. Extensive comparisons with other theoretical results are performed. Fine structure effects are shortly discussed. This

Recent developments in the ion/ion chemistry of high-mass multiply charged ions.
The ability to form multiply charged high-mass ions in the gas-phase, most notably via electrospray ionization (ESI), has allowed the study of many different combinations of positively and negatively charged ions. The charged products are directly amenable to study with mass spectrometry. Ion/ion reactions have proved to be "universal" in the sense that the high exothermicities and large rate c...
متن کاملUse of a single-quadrupole mass spectrometer for collision-induced dissociation studies of multiply charged peptide ions produced by electrospray ionization.
The feasibility of obtaining the collision-induced dissociation (CID) spectra of multiply charged peptide ions produced by electrospray ionization in a simple and inexpensive single-quadrupole mass spectrometer is demonstrated. Collisional activation was carried out in the high-pressure region between the capillary exit and the skimmer entrance to the mass analyzer. The CID of multiply charged ...
متن کاملInvestigation and optimization of parameters affecting the multiply charged ion yield in AP-MALDI MS.
Liquid matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) allows the generation of predominantly multiply charged ions in atmospheric pressure (AP) MALDI ion sources for mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. The charge state distribution of the generated ions and the efficiency of the ion source in generating such ions crucially depend on the desolvation regime of the MALDI plume after desorption i...
متن کاملOptical spectroscopy and photodissociation dynamics of multiply charged ions
Multiply charged ions are intruiging species whose reactivity and thermodynamic stability depends on the extent of ligation. The possibility of dissociating to two singly charged ions, which is often highly exothermic, leads to spectroscopy and dissociation dynamics that are qualitatively different from their singly charged counterparts. Various methods of producing multiply charged ions are di...
متن کامل"Dueling" ESI: instrumentation to study ion/ion reactions of electrospray-generated cations and anions.
Novel instrumentation has been developed which allows for the sequential injection and subsequent reaction of oppositely-charged ions generated via electrospray ionization (ESI) in a quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer. The instrument uses a DC turning quadrupole to sequentially direct the two ion polarities into the ion trap from ESI sources which are situated 90 degrees from the axial (z) d...
