Selective measurements of isoprene and 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol based on NO<sup>+</sup> ionization mass spectrometry

Biogenic VOC emissions are often dominated by 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene (isoprene) and 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol (232 MBO). Here we explore the possibility to selectively distinguish these species using NO<sup>+</sup> as a primary ion in a conventional PTR-MS equipped with an SRI unit. High pur...
