Abstract

A laser plasma ion source was used to ionize volatile organic compounds in a gas sample. The plasma was generated on a metal target in the intermediate vacuum region of ~0.3 Torr using a pulsed Nd:YAG laser with a wavelength of 1 μm. The resulting ions mass spectra were acquired using orthogonal time-of-flight mass spectrometer (O-TOF MS). When using a copper target, the ions formed are simple complexes (CuM
