Figure 1

Diagram of surface-induced dissociation where surface collision event deposits energy into the precursor ion. Collisions can generate fragment ions, neutralized precursor molecules, sputtered surface atoms and ion-surface reaction products. Inset shows an all trans configuration alkanethiolate (e.g. CH3(CH2)11S-Au) self-assembled monolayer on gold.
