What is Solvent Effect on Analyte Charge State, Signal Intensity, and Stability in Negative Ion Electrospray Mass Spectrometry; Implications for the Mechanism of Negative Ion Formation about?

Department of Chemistry, University of New Orleans, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA The effect of solvent composition on negative ion electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry was examined. The onset potentials for ES1 of a series of chlorinated solvents and methanol were found to be within the range predicted by D. P. H. Smith, based on differences in the surface tension of the solvents used. The tendency toward electric discharge decreased with increasing percent weight of chlorine in the solvent. This effect has been attributed to an increasing propensity for electron capture for more highly chlorinated solvents. Addition of the electron scavenger gas SF, was even more effective at suppressing corona discharge phenomena. In a comparison of ultimate signal intensity obtainable for a test analyte in 10% methanol, the highest signal, which was stable over the widest range of temperatures, was exhibited by chloroform compared to dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, carbon tetrachloride, and methanol (100%). Chloroform, thus, is a recommended solvent for negative ion electrospray mass spectrometry (ES/MS) when solubility is not a limiting issue. Solvent polarity was shown to exhibi
