AMMONIA AS A MODIFIER IN ION MOBILITY SPECTROMETRY: EFFECTS ON ION MOBILITIES AND POTENTIAL AS A SEPARATION TOOL

A commercial ammonia solution was introduced in the buffer gas of an ion mobility spectrometer and the mobilities of tetramethylammonium (TMA), tetraethylammonium (TEA), tetrapropylammonium (TPA), and tetrabutylammonium (TBA) ions, tribenzylamine (TBzA), tributylamine (TBtA), 2,4-dimethyl pyridine (...
