Ion–molecule reactions in dimethylsulfoxide by high pressure photoionization mass spectrometry

Abstract
Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) has been photoionized at 10.0 and 11.7 eV over the pressure range 0.3–210 mTorr. The rate constant for the disappearance of DMSO+ is 1.0 × 10−9 cm3 molecule−1 s−1, independent of photon energy. The major products at low pressure are CH3SO(CH3SO)CH3+ and CH3SOHCH3+ while at high pressure the ion series (DMSO)nH+ predominates with n ≤ 5. In experiments with mixtures of DMSO and water or methanol very little mixed solvation of the proton was observed although isotopic D/H exchange between D2O and (DMSO)2H+ is facile.
