## Abstract The analytical potential of furan as a chemical ionization (CI) reagent was evaluated for selectivity with nine monosubstituted naphthalene compounds. The ionβmolecule reactions of furan and tetrahydrofuran (THF) were compared with those of methane, methanol and acetonitrile (prominentl

β¦ Synopsis
A procedure is reported for the selective ammonia chemical ionization of some nitrogen and sulfur heterocycles in petroleum fractions using ion trap mass spectrometry (ITMS). The ion trap scan routine is designed to optimize the population of ammonium reagent ions and eject from the trap (by radio frequency/direct current isolation) electron ionization products formed during reagent ion formation prior to ionization of the sample. The ITMS procedure is compared with standard ion trap detector and conventional quadrupole ammonia chemical ionization for the determination of nitrogen and sulfur heterocycles in gas oil and kerosine samples. Greatly enhanced selectivity is shown for the ITMS procedure by suppression of competing charge-exchange processes.

## Mass -selected reagent ion chemical ionization (CI) performed in an ion trap instrument is an efficient tool to investigate gas-phase ion reactivities and therefore to find out new and/or optimized applications for structural analysis. For instance, it was shown that the C 3 H 6 O + . (58 mass
The effects of applied voltages and reaction times on negative ion chemical ionization in the quadrupole ion trap are investigated. Mass-selected ejection of undesired reagent ions and selective mass storage of only negative ions are required for practical negative ion chemical ionization. This is a
