Competitive binding: Electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry is used to probe the binding ability of different anions with a cationic surfactant. Bond strengths are estimated from plots of the intensity of the peak assigned to a given complex ion in the mass spectrum versus the cone voltage applied to induce the abstraction of the counterions from the monomers (see graph).
