Inert‐atmosphere MALDI‐MS is a powerful new tool for identifying organometallic compounds. As described by D. E. Fogg and co‐workers in the Communication on page 303 ff., sample decomposition is minimized by interfacing the spectrometer to a glovebox and ionizing by charge transfer. Neutral compounds, such as the Grubbs‐class catalyst shown, are observed as radical cations. The metal isotope patterns expand the utility and scope of this methodology in transition‐metal chemistry.
