The development of Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT‐ICR) spectroscopy is traced from its 1973 conception by analogy to Fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance (FT‐NMR) spectroscopy and its 1974 experimental demonstration to its 1978 demonstration as the technique of choice for examining complex ion chemistry. The intellectual connections between conventional NMR and ICR and FT‐NMR are described. The theoretical prediction and experimental demonstration of the many advantageous features of FT‐ICR are described. Subsequent FT‐ICR technique developments and applications are mentioned briefly.
