In the field of catalysis, HRMS offers several advantages:
Catalyst Characterization: HRMS can provide detailed information on the molecular weight and structure of catalysts, including metal complexes and organometallic compounds. Reaction Intermediates: HRMS can detect short-lived intermediates in catalytic cycles, helping researchers to elucidate reaction mechanisms. Catalyst Deactivation: By identifying by-products and poisons, HRMS can provide insights into why catalysts lose their activity over time. Product Analysis: HRMS can precisely identify and quantify the products of catalytic reactions, aiding in the optimization of reaction conditions.
