Abstract
Enhanced formation of doubly and triply charged negative ions has been obtained in negative ion field desorption mass spectrometry (NFD MS) of acids and salts by applying a matrix mixture of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and polyethylene glycol (PEG). Abundant doubly charged ions of disaccharides could be obtained from a mixture with a quaternary ammonium salt and sodium chloride. The matrix properties leading to the formation of multiply charged ions are discussed.
