Why are nH-perfluoroalkanoate ions more mobile than expected? Implications for identifying an emerging environmental pollutant

Abstract

nH-Perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (nH-PFCAs) are emerging pollutants. Their identification by ion mobility is frustrated by the nH-PFCAs having unexpectedly small collision cross sections (CCS). Theory and experiment agree that this is because nH-PFCA ions undergo internal hydrogen bridging, and this insight will help guide the creation of more accurate methods for pollutant identification.
