MIKES is a powerful technique used for structural studies of organic compounds, gaseous ions, and also for direct analysis of complex mixtures without separation of the components. In other words, it is used for molecular structure studies. The reason why MIKES is good for molecular structure studies is due to the reverse-geometry of MIKES. The MIKES Schematic shows that the ion species in the source goes into the magnetic field. After which, the chemistry is later studied in the second field-free region (FFR) by scanning the electric sector which defines the nature of the fragments by measuring their kinetic energy. This causes competitive unimolecular fragmentations that can be observed in the MIKE spectra. Furthermore, if gas is brought into the second FFR, more dissociation will be induced by collision, that will later appear in the MIKE spectra.
