title: Direct analysis of catalysts immobilised in ionic liquids using electrospray ionisation ion trap mass spectrometry.
abstract: Catalysts immobilised in ionic liquids have been analysed using electrospray ionisation ion trap mass spectrometry, which allows identification of the catalyst without contamination from the ionic liquid; additionally, a new ionic liquid containing the Monsanto catalyst as the anionic component, [Rh(CO)2I2]-, has been characterised using the same method.
