The performance of gas chromatography (GC) combined with the improved identification properties of ion mobility separation coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (IMS-HRMS) is presented as a promising approach for the monitoring of (semi)volatile compounds in complex matrices. The soft ionization promoted by an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) source designed for GC preserves the molecular and/or quasi-molecular ion information enabling a rapid, sensitive, and efficient wide-scope screening. Additionally, ion mobility separation (IMS) separates species of interest from coeluting matrix interferences and/or resolves isomers based on their charge, shape, and size, making IMS-derived collision cross section (CCS) a robust and matrix-independent parameter comparable between instruments. In this way, GC-APCI-IMS-HRMS becomes a powerful approach for both target and suspect screening due to the improvements in (tentative) identifications. In this work, mobility data for 264 relevant multiclass organic pollutants in environmental and food-safety fields were collected by coupling GC-APCI with IMS-HRMS, generating CCS information for molecular ion and/or protonated molecules and some in-source fragments. The identification power of GC-APCI-IMS-HRMS for the studied compounds was assessed in complex-matrix samples, including fish feed extracts, surface waters, and different fruit and vegetable samples.
