Properties that influence the ionization efficiency ofLi ion attachment
PolarizationNot known for many compounds Refractive index a measure for polarization
gas phase acidityUnknown for most of the compounds

APCI + ionizes mainly ketones and aldehydes
ACPI - ionizes mainly acids and carboxylic groups
Li ion attachment sees most of the tested componentsLower sensitivity

Summary
Li ion attachment ionization results in spectra showing less or no fragmentationquadrupol allows clean blanking of ions up to m/z=24mass resolution is the same as in EI ionizationsensitivity is some µg m-3 in 10ssignal is linear with mass loading -> allows for quantification of known compounds
Quadrupol blanking can also be use to blank electrons in negative ion mode
build easy to use quadrupol electronicsmeasure more standardsbetter understanding of ionization mechanism
