Similarities in the methodologies of laser ablation Fourier‐transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry and condensed‐phase studies are shown. The reactions of bare gas‐phase cations with molecules such as benzenethiol, benzene and sulfur are used to show similarities and differences with condensed‐phase systems. The similarity of the gas‐phase chemistry of europium Eu + with that of the Group II ions Ca + , Sr + and Ba + is highlighted. Copper cyanide anions and cations are used to indicate coordination chemistry in the gas phase. Examples are given to show how the observation of gas‐phase ions, particularly the metal‐sulfide cluster anions has the potential of guiding condensed‐phase syntheses.
