The introduction of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) in the mid-1980s started a new era in mass spectrometry and, currently, mass spectrometers of this type are present in virtually all pharmaceutical and biotechnology laboratories. Mass spectrometry has now become important for obtaining molecular weights as well as structural information for chemical substances including very large molecules, for example, biological substances such as proteins, carbohydrates, and oligonucleotides. This paper extends the applications of ESI-MS in this series to a variety of inorganic systems.
