โฆ Synopsis
The reduction of selected redox indicator dyes during fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry was investigated in several different matrices. Reduction is indicated by the incorporation of one or more hydrogens into the cation of the dye. The extent of reduction of the analyte can be related to the El,* value of the reduction potential of the dye. Selection of matrix also influences the reduction, the reducing power decreasing in the order glycerol > sulfolane > thioglycerol > hydroxyethyl disulfide > nitrobenzyl alcohol. Evidence is given suggesting that reduction is initiated by exposure of the analytematrix mixture to atom bombardment. It is shown that reduction can be controlled by the addition of metal ions with a very low reduction potential to the matrix to act as electron scavengers.

Dicyandiamide (DCDA) is used as a chemical additive in the fast atom bombardment (FAB) matrix 3mercaptopropane-l,2diol (thioglycerol) and propane-1,2,3-triol (glycerol). It is demonstrated that DCDA can be used to generate adduct ions [M + H + DCDA]' for a variety of common organic functional groups
A study of the fast-atom bombardment spectra of positive ions which result from doubly charged heterocyclic cationic compounds shows the influence of the matrix on the nature of the spectrum. While two reduction reactions are encountered with glycerol (electron and hydride anion attachment), the spe
