This is a collection of measured CCS, RT, and theoretical m/z for 19 commonly used quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) and their phase I hepatic metabolites. Chromatographic separation was performed with a Waters Acquity UPLC, which was equipped with a quaternary solvent pump coupled to a reversed-phase Phenomenex Kinetex C8 column (100 x 2.1 mm, 1.7 uM particle size).

Chromatographic gradients consisted of varying compositions of solvent A (0.1% formic acid, 2 mM ammonium formate in water) and solvent B (acetonitrile) at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min as follows:

1. 0 min, 5% B; 17 min, 85% B, 20 min, 5% B
2. 0 min, 15% B; 15 min, 90% B; 16 min, 90% B; 9 min, 15% B; 20 min, 15% B
3. 0 min, 30% B; 15 min, 90% B; 18 min, 90% B; 18.5 min, 30% B; 20 min, 30% B
4. 0 min, 30% B; 15 min, 80% B; 27 min, 100% B; 28.5 min, 30% B; 30 min, 30% B

Here is a list of all classes and adducts in the collection:

• ATMAC - Alkyltrimethyl Ammonium Compounds
• BAC - Benzalkonium Compounds
• EtBAC - Ethylbenzylalkonium Compounds
• DADMAC - Dialkyldimethyl Ammonium Compounds
• CPT - Cetylpyridinium
