Abstract

The cationization of poly(ethylene glycol)s, PEG 4000 and PEG 6000, under matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization conditions was studied by using different concentration ratios of the sodium ion, as the reference ion, and another alkali metal ion (Li^+^, K^+^, Rb^+^, Cs^+^). A linear correlation was found between the intensity ratio of the sodiated PEGs and PEGs cationized with alkali metal ions versus the initial concentration ratio of sodium and alkali metal ions. The slopes of these straight lines are proposed as a novel selectivity ratio for the ionization process. The intensity distribution of the cationized PEGs was also investigated. It was found that the cationized oligomers follow Poisson statistics. The M~n~ and M~w~ values were also evaluated. An explanation for the observed effects is given.

The effect of the matrix on poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) cationization was investigated using an equimolar mixture of CsCl and LiCl as cationizing agents. It was observed that for both carboxylic acid and noncarboxylic acid matrices used, PEG cationization by a given alkali metal ion depends on the m
