Synthesis of ligated-metal species by laser vaporization electrospray ionization (LAVESI)

- A new method for the production of hybrid metal species.
- Coupling of laser vaporization of a metal rod located in the spray of an ESI source.
- Formation of ligated metal species of silver, gold and copper.
- Collision-induced dissociation pathways of liganded species were determined.
- Their composition and size are discussed.
