What Information Does Mass Spectrometry (MS) Provide?
Mass Spectrometry is an analytical technique that measures the mass-to-charge ratio of ions. In catalysis, MS is used to identify and quantify reaction intermediates, products, and by-products. It provides real-time monitoring of the reaction progress, helping in elucidating the reaction pathway and mechanism. MS can also be coupled with other techniques, such as Gas Chromatography (GC-MS), for comprehensive analysis.
