Title: An investigation into the reactivity of ions arising from different regions of a translational, energy release distribution: a need for angular collimation
Abstract: A new method which enables ion from various portions of a metastable peak to be isolated for study is presented. Reactions have been found in which ions, m2+ formed as products of fragmentation of metastable ions, m1+, will themselves undergo unimolecular fragmentation to form ions m3+. By selecting ions m22 from various parts of the metastable peak for the reaction step m1+ → m2+, their reactivity can be studied as a function of their position within the metastable peak. Such studies have enabled ions m2+ containing different amounts of internal energy to be identified. The work has also demonstrated that the ability to obtain accurate translational energy release distributions from the shapes of metastable peaks is dependent upon good angular collimation of the reactant ions.
