The potential of boundary‐effect activated dissociation (BAD) in ion trap tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is discussed. Several classes of compounds were investigated and the BAD product ion tandem mass spectra were compared with those from collisionally activated dissociation (CAD) where an auxilliary r.f. ‘tickle’ voltage is used. The energy deposition in BAD MS/MS is generally lower than that for optimized CAD, but the experiments are easier to perform. An example of the BAD MS/MS of C 10 alkylbenzenes and benzothiophene in diesel fuel using gas chromatographic introduction and predicted r.f. and d.c. voltages is presented.
