Fragmentation dynamics of CS22+ on collision with a self-assembled monolayer surface
Surface-induced dissociation of doubly charged CS22+ ions colliding with a self-assembled monolayer surface of fluorinated alkyl thiol on Au(111) crystal has been studied using a beam scattering instrument. Two energetically distinct processes, corresponding to Coulomb explosion and charge transfer induced dissociation have been observed and the latter process dominates the dissociation process.
