66 ATTACHMENT OF MOLECULES WITH HIGH PERMANENT DIPOLE MOMENT TO IONS IN GASES AND INDUCED P. Kebarle, G.J. Collins, R.M. Haynes and J. Scarborough Department of Chemistry, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada ABSTRACT I The mass spectrometric study of clustered ions in function of polai gas pressure, temperature and electric field strength provides informa- tion not only on what ionic species might be present, but also on the 1 strength of the ion-dipole interactions. Studies of the reaction H30+.(n-1)H20 + H20 = H30+.nH20 in a Nier type ion source with a 100 ke-c proton beam are compared with earlier work on an alpha particle mass . spectrometer. The residence time of the ions in the two sources are a few psec and a few msec resp. Similarity of results shows that cluster, ing equilibrium is established within psec for water clusters above 0.5 torr. The presence of electric fields reduces the cluster size. 50 1 volts/cm (at 1 torr) strip the clusters to H 0'. Experiments on the cor parative attachment of different molecules S~OW that the stability of tl attachment increases in the order H20, NH3, CH30H, CH3N02 for first she! attachment. At larger distances from the ion (second shell) water be- comes the strongest attaching. These results are explained by differenc of dipole moments and polarizabilities. 'I /! /. I I ,,-
INTRODUCTION I' Attachment of polar molecules to ions in the gas phase occurs in a mber of systems: gases under high energy irradiation, gas discharges, IlameS, etc. The polar molecules may be present as an accidental imkrity or as a deliberate addmixture. The attachment has a number of $Portant effects such as change of mobility, change of rektivity with 2gard to ion-molecule reactions, change of the positive (negative) ion tlectron) recombination coefficient and change in the nature of the -0ducts resulting from the positive negative ion recombination. The +dy of ion-polar molecule interactions in the gas phase can also pro- :de information on ionic solvation since the formation of ion clusters 2nstitutes the first and most important step in the solvation of anion. ; A systematic mass spectrometric study of ion-polar molecule inter- :tiOnS was started in this laboratory some five years ago.8-12 The mass spectrometric gas phase studies are based on measurement ! the relative concentrations of the clustered ionic species: A+.nS, +.(n+l)S, etc. The measurement of the relative concentrations is obfined by bleeding a probe of the gas into an ion mass analysis system, .,e. a vacuum chamber attached to a mass spectrometer.
