J. Griep-raming et Jo. Metzger, An electrospray ionization source for the investigation of thermally initiated reactions, ANALYT CHEM, 72(22), 2000, pp. 5665-5668
An electrospray ionization source for mass spectrometry is described, which
allows one to heat the spray capillary. Thermal dissociation of the trityl
dimer 1 and tetra(p-anisyl)hydrazine (3) have been investigated, operating
the ESI source as electrolytic cell to ionize neutral species, e.g. the tr
ityl radical 2.
