The peak width, shape and position are heavily affected by ion–molecule reactions which are inevitable in the drift region of an ion mobility spectrometer. This paper discusses three major types of reactions occurring in drift tube and their effects on the shape and displacement of the peaks. The first reaction is the dissociation of dimer ions during their flight time creating a tail for the monomer...
