Abundance ionization energies

If an alkyl group is bonded to a substitute of high ionization energy one can observe a homologous series (sometimes quite abundant) of even-electron ions with general formula CnH2n+.

The ionization energy of Ar is 15.8 electron volts (eV), which is higher than those of all elements except He, Ne, and F. In an Ar plasma, analyte elements can be ionized by collisions with Ar+, excited Ar atoms, or energetic electrons. In atomic emission spectroscopy, we usually observe the more abundant neutral atoms, M. However, the plasma can be directed into a mass spectrometer (Chapter 22), which separates and measures ions according to their mass-to-charge ratio.17 For the most accurate measurements of isotope ratios, the mass spectrometer has one detector for each desired isotope.18...

Intermolecular isotope effects upon ion abundances are, in general, not reliable guides as to intermolecular kinetic isotope effects. Intermolecular kinetic isotope effects kl(E)/ku(E) could be determined by PIPECO, although few measurements have been reported [210]. It would be necessary to conduct measurements at two different photon energies since, in general, the molecules Mj and Mn would not have the same ionization energies (IEs). In this way, the molecular ions Mj" and M could be formed with the same internal energy (E = hv — IE).
