Energy-dependent electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry: applications in transition metal carbonyl chemistry

Maps of electrospray mass spectrometry data, plotted as cone voltage versus mass-to-charge ratio, provide a clear and compact method of visualising the accompanying fragmentation processes, in this case applied to the sequential removal of ligands from transition-metal carbonyl complexes. The technique is described as energy-dependent electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (EDESI-MS). Copyright 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
