In ion mobility spectrometry (IMS), reduced mobility values ( K 0 ) are used as a qualitative measure of gas phase ions, and are reported in the literature as absolute values. Unfortunately, these values do not always match with those collected in the field. One reason for this discrepancy is that t...
