Abstract
Proton affinities (PAs) in the gas phase have been calculated for a series of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons by MOPAC 6.0 using AM1 and PM3 Hamiltonians and compared to the experimental values published in the literature. A correlation between PAs and the reactional competition leading to the respective formation of the molecular ion and the protonated molecular ion under ammonia positive‐ion chemical ionization (PICI) has been demonstrated. A method for estimating PAs from ion abundances in the ammonia PICI mass spectra is proposed.
