The spectral quality of a group of chlorinated phenoxyacid herbicides has been shown to degrade under certain conditions upon introduction into the mass spectrometer by a particle beam interface. Experiments were performed to investigate these changes in spectra. Normalized ion chromatograms were generated for the herbicides, and the results showed a broadening of the profiles of some ions, indicating a longer residence time in the ion source. These ions were postulated as coming from the ionization of thermal degradation products from the herbicides. The generation of these ions was dependent on ion source temperature, analyte concentration, and, by implication, ion source cleanliness. Tandem mass spectrometry experiments were performed on these ions from the herbicides and ions from the corresponding phenols. The tandem mass spectra of the ions from the herbicides were similar to the tandem mass spectra of the ions from the phenols. Therefore, it appears that the particle beam mass spectra of the chlorinated phenoxyacid herbicides are composite spectra with contributions from the gas phase ionization of the parent herbicides and thermal decomposition products.
