Abstract
Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) is increasingly being used as a tool to gain mechanistic insights into homogeneous metal-catalyzed reactions. Here we briefly discuss the advantages of ESI-MS for studying solution-phase reactions and review the work that has been conducted in the area to date. In order to investigate any catalytic system by ESI-MS all species of interest must be charged: either inherently, adventitiously or intentionally by installing a charged or chargeable tag. This review will be organized accordingly. In addition, a portion of the review is devoted to the emerging use of ESI-MS to collect continuous kinetic data on reactants, products and reactive intermediates by in situ, real-time analysis of catalytic reaction mixtures. The review covers work in the field up to 2013.
