MALDI‐TOFMS analysis of coordination and organometallic complexes: a nic(h)e area to work in

A mini‐review of the characterisation of metal‐containing compounds by matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionisation time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOFMS) is presented. Organometallic and coordination compounds have many varied applications, most notably in industrial catalytic processes and also in the electronics and healthcare sectors. In general, the compounds discussed, be they small or large molecules, have a high percentage metal...
