“…Ideally, new ionization chemistries should be developed to address these areas in a fundamental fashion. For example, we have recently demonstrated that Sc(NO 3 ) 2 (H 2 O) n + acts as a more selective reagent ion for HF detection . As a result, the HF detection dependence on plasma chemistry is reduced, and tolerance for matrix effects from Cl is improved.…”

Prevalence of F, Cl, S, P, Br, and I in pharmaceuticals and environmental contaminants has promoted standard-free quantitation using analyte-independent heteroatom responses in inductively coupled plasma (ICP)-MS. However, inplasma ionization challenges and element-dependent isobaric interference removal methods have hampered the multielement nonmetal detection in ICP-MS. Here, we examine an alternative approach to enhance multielement detection capabilities. Analytes are introduced into an ICP leading to post-plasma formation of HF, HCl, H 3 PO 3 , H 2 SO 4 , HBr, and HI, which are then chemically ionized to BaF + , BaCl + , BaH 2 PO 3 + , BaHSO 4 + , BaBr + , and BaI + via reactions with barium-containing ions supplied by a nanospray. Subsequent ion detection by high-resolution MS provides an element-independent approach for resolving isobaric interferences. We show that elemental response factors using these ions are linear within 2 orders of magnitude and independent of analytes' chemical structures. Using a single set of operating parameters, detection limits <1 ng/mL are obtained for Cl, Br, I, and P, while those for F and S are 1.8 and 6.2 ng/mL, respectively, offering improved multielement quantitation of nonmetals. Further, insights into ionization mechanisms indicate that the reactivities of reagent ions follow the order BaNO 2. Notably, the least reactive ions are generated directly by nanospray, suggesting that modification of these ions via interaction with plasma afterglow is critical for achieving good sensitivities. Moreover, our experiments indicate that the element-specific plasma products follow the order HF < H 2 SO 4 ∼ HCl < H 3 PO 3 ∼ HBr ∼ HI for their propensity to react with reagent ions. These insights provide guidelines to manage matrix effects and offer pathways to further improve the technique.
