AI Article Synopsis
- ESI-MS is likened to a periscope, enabling the analysis of compounds at the interface of gas and liquid phases to identify chemical entities in solution.
- The technique helps in identifying and characterizing reaction intermediates, which are crucial for understanding chemical processes.
- This Minireview highlights recent studies that utilize ESI-MS to explore solution intermediates in homogeneous chemical reactions.
Article Abstract
Just as periscopes allow a submarine to visually search for objects above the surface of the sea, in a reversed periscope fashion electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) can analyze the compounds at the gas phase/liquid phase interface for chemical entities which may exist in solution. The challenge is the identification and structural characterization of key elusive reaction intermediates in chemical transformations, intermediates which are able to explain how chemical processes occur. This Minireview summarizes recent selected publications on the use of ESI-MS techniques for studying solution intermediates of homogeneous chemical reactions.
