Characterization of selected organometallic compounds by electrospray ionization- and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry using different types of instruments: Possibilities and limitations.

The use of MALDI-MS for the structural confirmation of organometallic compounds is still not widely used. Nevertheless, this work showed that this analytical technique does have some benefits. The analysis of neutral catalysts proves to be quite useful, concluding that this technique provides a complement and/or an alternative to ESI-MS.
