A novel, efficient quenching reaction for excited atomic platinum cations with hydrogen gas has been identified experimentally with an inductively coupled plasma/selected-ion flow tube (ICP/SIFT) tandem mass spectrometer. The rate and extent of quenching is monitored using the state-selective reaction of Pt + with N 2 O and the quenching with molecular hydrogen appears to be very efficient...
