Previous investigations of mass spectra obtained in very high vacuum systems have disagreed as to the origin and identity of the mass peak frequently observed at m/z = 19 amu. Recent work with quadrupole mass spectrometry instruments that can also be used for threshold ionization mass spectrometry has shown how the apparent conflict between different sets of published data may be resolved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
