title: Gas-phase enantioselective reactions in noncovalent ion-molecule complexes.
abstract: Noncovalent diastereomeric ion-molecule complexes are produced in the gas phase and are ideal for the study of chiral recognition in the absence of complicating solvent and counterion effects. This review article describes the state-of-art in this field with special emphasis on the most recent mass spectrometric studies of the structure, dynamics, and reactivity of diastereomeric ion/molecule aggregates.
