Taking advantage of the nano-electrospray ionization source, polyvalent ions are usually produced in the ＂ionization＂ process and the obtained mass resolution of the equipment is over 8000. The molecular ion peaks of metal cluster compounds [Au20（PPhpy2）10Cl2]（SbF6）4, where PPhpy2=bis（2- pyridyl）phenylphosphine, and [AuaAg2（C）L6]（BF4）4, where L=2-（diphenylphosphino）-5- methylpyridine, are distinguished in the respective mass spectrum, accompanied by some fragment ion peaks. In addition, the mass-to-charge ratios of the parent ions are determi- nated. Preliminary results suggest that the device is a powerful tool for the study of metal cluster compounds. It turns out that the information obtained by the instrumentation serves as an essential supplement to single crystal X-ray diffraction for structure characterization of metal cluster compounds.展开更多

Because of the storage and compressing focus of the source, the overall performance of the instrument has been improved greatly with a mass resolving power up to 3 500. The conditions of the second order of the focus are given and the storage ability is proved. The competer simulations and experiment results are given, too.展开更多

A special photoelectron generator was designed to control the energy and timing of the photoelectron beam. This modification made it possible to separate the photoionization process from photoelectron impact ionization. The experiment showed that the multiple charged ions could be produced only by the photoelectron impact, ionized step by step. A design of dual ionization configuration was presented, which could be used to study either multiphoton ionization or photoemission electron impact ionization.展开更多
