Evaluation of Ionic Mobilities by Coupling the Scattering on Atoms and on Electron Density

Abstract: A recently developed method to calculate gas-phase mobilities by scattering on electron density isosurfaces (SEDI) has been applied to carbon cluster ions. The investigation has covered species belonging to all major structural families identified in drift tube studies (chains, monocyclic and bicyclic rings, graphite sheets, and fullerenes). Relative cross sections of C n -and C n + predicted by SEDI are in excellent agreement with the measurements across a wide range of cluster sizes and shapes. However, abso… Show more

“…For the ?5 and ?6 charge state ions, the CCSs of 4 are 1138.2 Å 2 and 1102.4 Å 2 , respectively; these values differ only slightly, indicating that the nanobelt possesses a rigid and shape-persistent conformation. Moreover, the measured CCSs agree well with the theoretical CCS (1093.1 Å 2 ) obtained from the energy-minimized structure by the trajectory method [44][45][46].…”

“…Electronic mail: clarriba@umn.edu is the CCS which uniquely defines ion mobility for different ions in a given bath gas, and thus facilitates IMS separation. Previously developed methods [8][9][10][11][14][15][16][17] for CCS calculation differ from one another primarily on the presumed manner in which impinging gas molecules are reemitted upon collision with the ion, which, outside of the large ion limit (i.e., below ∼ 10 nm in ion size) lead to significantly different CCSs. Seminal IMS studies using helium as a drift gas considered specular-elastic hard sphere scattering (EHSS) for gas molecule reemission, and show that in this gas such a reemission law can lead to good agreement between measured and calculated CCSs for ions with reasonably unambiguous structures.…”

“…The quantity Ω avg (1,1) for any collider pair can be computed using various treatments. [41][42][43] This capability enables structural elucidation of ions by comparing mobilities calculated for candidate geometries with measurements. 24,25,27,28,[41][42][43][44] In FAIMS, ions are separated exploiting the dependence of ion mobility on the electric field.…”
