Abstract

The mass spectrometer can be regarded as a kind of chemical laboratory, especially designed to study ions in the gas phase [1,2]. In addition to the task it is commonly used for – creation of mass spectra for a generally analytical purpose – it allows for the examination of fragmentation pathways of selected ions, for the study of ion–neutral reactions and more.
