The majority of chemi-ionization occurs in the base of the flame.

Chemi-ionization is the formation of an ion through the reaction of a gas phase atom or molecule with an atom or molecule in an excited state while also creating new bonds.[1][2] This process is helpful in mass spectrometry because it creates unique bands that can be used to identify molecules. [3] This process is extremely common in nature as it is considered the primary inital reaction in flames.

Reactions

Chemi-ionization can be represented by

where G is the excited state species (indicated by the superscripted asterisk), and M is the species that is ionized by the loss of an electron to form the radical cation (indicated by the superscripted "plus-dot").

The most common example of A-type chemi-ionization occurs in hydrocarbon flame. The reaction can be represented as

[4]

This reaction is is present in any hydrocarbon flame and can account for deviation in the amount of expected ions from thermodynamic equilibrium. [5] This can then lead to B-type chemi-ionization which can be represented as

As well as

Where M* represents a radical metal ion.
