β¦ Synopsis
The electrospray mass spectra of gramicidin S cations that originated from 0.2 hi solutions of 18 nitrogencontaining bases were examined. The relative abundances of the [ M + 2H ] '+ to the I M + H ] + ion were found to correlate not with the solution pH but with the proton affinities of the bases. It is postulated that some of the IM + 2HI" and the [ M + HI + ions exist as adducts with the nitrogen bases in solution, these adducts being desorbed into the gas phase during electrospray and dissociated in the lens region via collision-induced dissociations to yield apparent proton attachment spectra. Some of these adducts were observed under nominally zero collision energy conditions.

In the standard electrospray ionization mass spectra of many common, low molecular mass organic compounds dissolved in methanol, peaks corresponding to ions with formula [3M + Met](2+) (M = organic molecule, Met = bivalent metal cation) are observed, sometimes with significant abundances.

One important feature in the gas phase chemistry of surfactants is to ascertain whether their aggregates produced by electrospray ionization reflect those formed in the starting solution. With this aim, we have performed ESI-MS, ESI-MS/MS and ER-MS spectra of bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOTNa)
