Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) is a growing field that has provided key insights into the conformation of molecular ions and when coupled with photexcitation can provide isomer and conformer specific information on the photodynamics of large molecular assemblies previously inaccessible. Successful IMS apparatus involves a range of experimental methods, including ion optics, radiofrequency ion traps and ion guides, gas dynamics and mass spectrometry. This issue provides a forum for disseminating further aspects of the techniques and instrumentation that have made IMS such an important technique for understanding the structure and dynamics of large molecular ions.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
• General ion mobility spectrometry
• Ion sources and ion beam manipulation
• Advances in data analysis
• Cryogenic ion mobility spectrometry
