We report the first mass spectrometric analysis of poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) containing weakly coordinating anions introduced by a fast, simple, and quantitative postmodification method on the example of the hydrophilic, well-defined poly(vinylbenzylpyridinium chloride) p([VBPy]Cl) species, analyzed with an in-source collision induced dissociation-Orbitrap mass spectrometry (MS) protocol. Using the MS approach allows for the precise structural elucidation of ion-exchanged p([VBPy]Cl) utilizing AgX (X = NO3-, CF3CO2-, BF4-) salts. The anion exchange is shown to be quantitative - without observing residual chlorinated PIL - on rapid time scales, using only filtration as a standard procedure during sample preparation. In addition, the influence of weakly coordinating anions on the ionization behavior of PILs is studied in detail.
