ORANGE BOOK DEFINITION IUPAC. Analytical Division. Compendium of Analytical Nomenclature (the Orange Book). Definitive Rules, 1979 (see also Orange Book 2023)
Collision-induced dissociation
An ion/neutral species interaction wherein the projectile ion is dissociated as a result of interaction with a target neutral species. This is brought about by conversion of part of the translation energy of the ion to internal energy in the ion during collision.
