✦ Synopsis

Alkali salts of 1-hexyl sulfonate were ionized by laser irradiation and the positive ions were analyzed by time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The sodium, potassium, rubidium and cesium salts produce relatively simple spectra. The major organic ions observed are due to the salt plus a cation or the dimer plus a cation. No molecular or fragment ions were detected. The instrumentation and the method of interpreting these data are described.
