Molecular characterization of alkyl nitrates in atmospheric aerosols by ion mobility mass spectrometry

<p>We demonstrate the capability of the ion mobility mass spectrometry (IMS-MS) for molecular characterization of reactive and short-lived alkyl nitrates (ANs) in atmospheric aerosols. We show significantly enhanced sensitivity towards the intact molecules of ANs by ultimately 2 orders of magn...
