During the early years of physieal ehemistry, Ostwald did not believe in the existence of atoms... and yet he was somehow ineluded in the wild army of ionists. He was resolute in his scepticism and in the 1890s he sustained an obscure theory of energetics to take the place of the atomic hypothesis. How ions could be formed in a solution containing no atoms was not altogether clear. Finally, in 1905, when Einstein had shown in rigorous detail how the Brownian motion studied by Perrin could be interpreted in terms of the collision of dust motes with moving molecules (Chapter 3, Section 3.1.1), Ostwald relented and publicly embraced the existence of atoms. 

In principle, these approaches are very attractive because they probe multiple pathways in the critical regions where the pathways are separated, but in practice these are extremely challenging experiments to conduct, and the interpretation of results is often quite difficult. Furthermore, these experiments are difficult to apply to bimolecular collisions because of the difficulty of initiating the reaction with sufficient time resolution and control over initial conditions.

ToFs can also be used in combination with other mass analysers. Both hybrid sector and quadrupole systems are available. oaToF-MS has been interfaced to a quadrupole mass filter and hexapole gas collision cell, such as to allow recording of mass spectra and product ion spectra with good mass resolution (ca. 10000), high sensitivity, high mass range (ca. 10 000 Da) and high mass accuracy (<5ppm) [177,178]. QqToFMS may be fitted with API sources with flow-rates from nL... 

Applications The diversity of MS/MS instrumentation offers considerable opportunities for polymer/addit-ive analysis. The best geometry for a particular application depends on a number of factors, including mass resolution in the first and third stages, mass range, sensitivity, available collision energy, the type of information required, data acquisition rate, etc. Polymer science applications of MS/MS comprise ... 

Collision/reaction cell technology (CCT/CRC) is a cheaper alternative for reducing the impact of interferences than is high-resolution magnetic sector ICP-MS.
