The principle of MS/MS for direct analysis of a multicomponent system is shown in Figure 6.18, in which the first mass spectrometer (MS I) operates with soft ionisation (FI, FD, Cl, LD), and thus produces an ensemble of molecular ions (M + H+, M — H+, or adducts). For identification of molecule ABC only ABC+ is allowed to enter an interface or fragmentation zone for excitation by collisional activation, laser radiation or surface-induced dissociation. Within the time of one vibration (10-13s), ABC+ dissociates into fragments characterising the original molecule. They are separated and detected by MS II [226]. Soft ionisation with FI/FD produces low ion yields, which may be insufficient for MS/MS LVEI (typically at 20 V) can be an alternative. Complete analysis of a multicomponent system is carried out in some 20 min. 

Surface-induced dissociation (SID) is an extremely fast activation technique where precursor ions are m/z-sclcctivcly accelerated and collided with a solid surface. The amount... 

Other means of manipulating ions trapped in the FTMS cell include photodissociation (70-74), surface induced dissociation (75) and electron impact excitation ("EIEIO")(76) reactions. These processes can also be used to obtain structural information, such as isomeric differentiation. In some cases, the information obtained from these processes gives insight into structure beyond that obtained from collision induced dissociation reactions (74). These and other processes can be used in conjunction with FTMS to study gas phase properties of ions, such as gas phase acidities and basicities, electron affinities, bond energies, reactivities, and spectroscopic parameters. Recent reviews (4, 77) have covered many examples of the application of FTMS and ICR, in general, to these types of processes. These processes can also be used to obtain structural information, such as isomeric differentiation. 

This paper focuses on special ionization methods such as secondary ion MS (SIMS) (1, 13, 24-28) and ZCf plasma desorption (PD), and on MS/MS methods for characterizing primary ions, such as surface induced dissociation (SID), laser photodissociation, and neutralization of multiply charged ions. A Hadamard transform method for more efficient recording of multiple MS-II spectra is also proposed. 

Another activation method, which is performed without gas, uses collisions with a solid surface [22,23], This method is called surface-induced dissociation (SID). In practice,...
