Is there a ‘matrix suppression effect’ under fast‐atom bombardment liquid secondary ion mass spectrometry of ionic surfactants in glycerol?

Abstract: Some features of a 'matrix suppression effect' caused by ionic surface-active compounds under fast-atom bombardment (FAB) liquid secondary ion mass spectrometry (LSIMS) are being revised. It is shown that abundant transfer of the glycerol matrix molecules to the gas phase does occur under FAB-LSIMS of ionic surfactants, contrary to popular belief. This process can be obscure because of the dependence of the charge state of the glycerol-containing cluster ions on the type of ionic surfactant. It is revealed tha… Show more

“…In the FAB mass spectra of surface-active decamethoxinum and 2,5-DHB solution in glycerol two characteristic groups of ions (with appropriate isotopic distribution) with comparable abundance corresponding to Cat 2þ Á Cl À (reported earlier in FAB/ SIMS studies on decamethoxinum 22,23 ) and Cat 2þ Á (DHB-H) À were recorded, pointing to the occurrence of partial anion exchange. It is important here that we probe not some separate 'ion pair' associates in the liquid, but a continuous two-dimensional surface layer formed by the cations and anions of the surface-active organic salt.…”

“…It is important here that we probe not some separate 'ion pair' associates in the liquid, but a continuous two-dimensional surface layer formed by the cations and anions of the surface-active organic salt. 23 Detection of the Cat 2þ Á (DHB-H) À ion is a firm confirmation of the binding of (DHB-H) À to Cat 2þ or, more precisely, of the incorporation of (DHB-H) À anions into the surface monolayer formed by the decamethoxinum surfactant (with a composition correlating roughly with the composition of micelles formed in solution). 23 Since FAB/SIMS sputtering affects mainly the surface layers of a sample, a 'competition for the surface' dependent on surface activity of the analytes causes the suppression effect in FAB/ SIMS.…”
