Proton-Transfer-Reaction Library

We have collected information on the detection of VOCs by proton-transfer reactions with H3O+ ions into one data repository. Users can search for a VOC of interest, or can search for a product ion mass and find which VOCs are detected at that mass. The library may also be useful as a data set to research instrument sensitivity and product ion fragmentation. A paper describing the library is currently in preparation.
