This book explores the mechanism of alkali-metal ion/molecule association reaction, surveys the instrumental basis to study its kinetic, and describes the instrumentation to the measurement of alkali-metal ion affinities. The applications of the ion complexation mechanism in the condensed phase in reaction to direct analysis MS are also covered. Other topics include mechanism and reaction rate, experimental and theoretical ion affinities, applications of ion attachment reactions (IAR) to mass spectrometry such as alkali ion CIMS, ion attachment MS and cationization mass spectrometry of ESI, FAB, FD, LD, MALDI and SIMS and topics of IAR-based direct analysis mass spectrometry.

“Ion/molecule attachment reactions: mass spectrometry offers valuable information for both newcomers to mass spectrometry and experts in this field … . It undoubtedly offers a lot of information on various topics, especially theoretical and practical aspects of ion-molecule reactions, making the perusal of this monograph a worthwhile undertaking. It could be a valuable resource in the mass spectrometry laboratory, and should find a place in the analytical chemistry sections of libraries.” (Jürgen H. Gross, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Vol. 408, 2016)

“The book as a whole is written at the level appropriate for practicing mass spectrometrists or gas-phase ion chemists. … it can be a useful resource for MS researchers looking to take advantage of various metal ion attachment applications or seeking to broaden their horizons.” (Victor Ryzhov, Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, Vol. 27, 2016)
