Organophosphate esters (OPEs) are an emerging environmental concern since they spread persistently across all environmental compartments (air, soil, water, etc.). Measurements of Semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) are important but not without challenges due to their physicochemical properties. Selected ion flow tube-mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) can be relevant for their analysis in air because it is a direct analytical method without separation that requires little preparation and no external calibration. SIFT-MS is based on the chemical reactivity of analytes with reactant ions. For volatile and semivolatile organic compound analysis in the gas phase, knowledge of ion-molecule reactions and kinetic parameters is essential for the utilization of this technology. In the present work, we focused on organophosphate esters, semivolatile compounds that are now ubiquitous in the environment. The ion-molecule reactions of eight precursor ions that are available in SIFT-MS (H 3 O + , NO + , O 2 •+ , OH-, O •-, O 2 •-, NO 2-and NO 3-) with six organophosphate esters were investigated. The modeling of ion-molecule reaction pathways by calculations supported and complemented the experimental work. Organophosphate esters reacted with six of the eight precursor ions with characteristic reaction mechanisms, such as protonation with hydronium precursor ions and association with NO + ions, while nucleophilic substitution occurred with OH-, O •-, and O 2 •-. No reaction was observed with NO 2-and NO 3-ions. This work shows that the direct analysis of semivolatile organic compounds is feasible using SIFT-MS with both positive and negative ionization modes.
