Secondary Fragmentation of Benzylpyridinium Thermometer Ions Bearing a 4-Trifluoromethyl Group Extends the Internal Energy Calibration Range of Gas-Phase Ions

Abstract Secondary fragmentation of substituted benzylpyridinium “thermometer ions” has been observed previously, but they have not been used as quantitative probes for internal energy calibration. Here, we demonstrate that the secondary fragmentation of 4-trifluoromethyl-substit...
