In the 20 years, since the introduction of electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI‐MS), the use of this technique in various fields of inorganic, organometallic, and analytical chemistry has been steadily increasing. In this study, the application of ESI‐MS to the study of metal–ligand solution equilibria is reviewed (till 2004 included). In a first section, advantages and drawbacks of ESI‐MS in this type of application are described. Subsequently, a list of ca. 300 studies is reported, in which ESI‐MS was used to give number and stoichiometry of the species at equilibrium, or also to estimate their stability constants. All studies are classified according to the metal ions under examination. Other related applications, such as host–guest interactions and metal ion‐protein binding studies, are briefly reviewed as well. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc., Mass Spec Rev 25:347–379, 2006

The electrospray mass spectra of MX, and MX, salts (where X is typically halide or nitrate) in protic and aprotic solvents, and solvent mixtures were examined. Comparisons of species responses with equilibrium aqueous solution concentrations were made. For MX, salts, a good correlation between MOH'
