HCl-Selective Ionization Reactions for Improved Chlorine Detection

Zahra Afsharsaveh's dataset addresses improvement in elemental chlorine detection by developing selective chemical ionization reactions for HCl produced from chlorinated compounds introduced into an inductively coupled plasma. The data consists of mass spectrometry files from a QExactive Orbitrap instrument, converted to .mzml format for open-access software, accompanied by Word documents outlining experimental conditions. This work focuses on enhancing the robustness of chlorine detection in post-inductively coupled plasma chemical ionization.

Use Cases

• Method development for selective ionization of HCl based on described chemical ionization reactions.
• Benchmarking chlorine detection robustness using the provided mass spectrometry data.
• Reproducing experimental conditions outlined in the accompanying documentation.
• Analyzing mass spectra (.mzml files) of chlorinated compounds under varied plasma conditions.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly accessible under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
• Includes detailed experimental documentation alongside raw instrument data.
• Files are converted to the open .mzml format for use with standard software.

Limitations

• No column names or row counts are provided, limiting precise understanding of data structure.
• The dataset size (874,710,587 bytes) is given, but its composition (number of files, types) is unspecified.
• The future 'last updated' date (2026-03-18) is inconsistent and suggests a metadata error.
