Bridging the Gap between What Mass Spectrometrists Want and What Spectroscopists Can Do: An Instrument for Spectroscopic Investigation of Matrix-Isolated,Mass-Selected Ions
An instrument designed to trap mass-selected ions from mass spectrometers in a low-temperature inert gas matrix, for subsequent structural analysis via vibrational and electronic spectroscopy, is described. Isolation of mass-selected CS2+ in an argon matrix is confirmed with the use of laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy. The role of counter-ions in matrix isolation of ions is discussed, as well as implications of the LIF results to infrared spectroscopic studies of matrix-isolated, mass-selected ions. Early infrared experiments suggest that some ion neutralization may occur.
