Ambient ionization processes are becoming more widely used for the measurement of atmospherically relevant particles and gases. We report here ambient ionization mass spectra utilizing a commercial tincture of iodine and a piezoelectric discharge gun (PDG) to generate the ionizing reagents. Analytes include Cl-2, Br-2, HNO3, the C-1-C-9 series of saturated monocarboxylic acids, benzoic acid, 2,2-dimethyl-propanoic acid, 9-decenoic acid, and trichloroacetic acid. While Cl-2 and Br-2 form the [M + I](-) odide adducts, HNO3 and the organic acids show unexpected peaks corresponding to [2M - 2H + I](-). For HNO3, the new ion formed is interpreted as the [NO3-center dot center dot center dot IONO2] complex, where IONO2 is likely formed upon reaction of HOI with gaseous NO3-. Similarly, for the organic acids, the [2M - 2H + I](-) peaks are interpreted as [RC(O)O-center dot center dot center dot IOC(O)R] complexes formed by association of RC(O)O- with acyl hypoiodites [RC(O)OI]. It is proposed that the association of (1) Cl-2 and Br-2 with I-, (2) IONO2 with NO3- ions, and (3) RC(O)OI with carboxylate ions occurs via non-covalent halogen bonding. The results suggest the possibility that halogen bonding may play a role in chemical transformations in the atmosphere, particularly in particles where concentrations of iodinated species may be significant.
