Abstract:
Triply charged, highly solvated metal ions of the form [Ln(H(2)O)(n)](3+) can be generated using a commercial mass spectrometer, and CID studies on these highly charged metal-solvent clusters allow for the direct observation of a process best described as ion evaporation.

01:12Electrospray Ionization (ESI) Mass Spectrometry
Higher molecular weight biomolecules are nonvolatile compounds that may decompose before ionizing or vaporizing during mass analysis with conventional electron impact ionization methods. Accordingly, electrospray ionization (ESI) is the favored method for vaporizing and ionizing biomolecules as it circumvents rapid fragmentation and enables the recording of mass signals for the entire biomolecule.
