In this study we have examined the formation of ions from hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) sample evaporated at 473 K in reactions with reactant ions (RI) produced in negative corona discharge (CD). The ions have been analysed and detected by ion mobility spectrometry coupled to orthogonal acceleration time of flight spectrometer (IMS-oaTOF). The chemical ionisation was carried out byin CD operated in zero air in the reverse gas flow mode at elevated temperatures 438 K and by Cl − (H 2 O) n (n=0,1,2) at 332 K. In case of 332 K, the RI were prepared by admixture of carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 -dopant gas) in order to enhance sensitivity of RDX.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
