We discovered novel calibrants, several 2,2,6,6-tetraalkylpiperidinyl derivatives, for accurate mass measurements by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI). These compounds showed excellent performance as internal calibrants for the accurate mass measurement in ESI-MS, without problems arising from differences in the ionization efficiencies between the analytes and calibrants.
