Sustained off-resonance irradiation-cross-sectional areas by Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (SORI-CRAFTI) is an FTICR-MS strategy to collisionally activate precursor ions and then measure their ion-neutral collision cross sections, as well as those of selected products, at the same time. We benchmarked SORI-CRAFTI using protonated leucine-enkephalin, to excellent agreement (typically within 1-2%) with previous studies performed via collision-induced dissociation-ion mobility (CID-IMS). SORI-CRAFTI was then applied to alkali metal-cationized leucine-enkephalin and compared with CID-IMS via precursor/product cross-section ratios. Qualitative agreement between SORI-CRAFTI and CID-IMS was excellent (again, usually within 1-2%); however, neither SORI-CRAFTI nor CID-IMS could determine if metalated leucine-enkephalin was present in its canonical or zwitterionic form. When SORI-CRAFTI was used on [2.2.2]-cryptand+Cs+, SORI activation resulted in a 5% decrease in collision cross section, consistent with migration of the externally bound Cs+ into the cryptand's cavity and similar to the cross section observed when electrospraying from an isopropanol-rich solvent. Thus, SORI-CRAFTI is useful for studying gas-phase ion chemistry of small- to medium-sized molecules and host-guest systems.
