Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are contaminants of increasing concern, with over seven million compounds currently inventoried in the PubChem PFAS Tree. Recently, ion mobility spectrometry has been combined liquid chromatography high-resolution mass (LC-IMS-HRMS) to assess PFAS. Interestingly, using negative electrospray ionization, perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) form homodimers ([2M-H]-), a phenomenon observed trapped, traveling wave, drift-tube IMS. In addition limited...

For cationic corresponding catalyst + diyne (activation stage) we resolve four isomers. At...
Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) is a gas phase separation technique, which relies on differences in collision cross section (CCS) of ions. Ionic clouds unresolved conformers overlap if the CCS difference below instrumental resolution expressed as CCS/ΔCCS.
