Theory and Experiment in Mass Spectrometry: A Perspective on the Relationship between Computational Modelling and Experiment in Gas-Phase Ion Chemistry
In this lecture/paper we will discuss the somewhat complicated relationship between theory and experiment in molecular science in general and mass spectrometry in particular, illustrated by some recent literature examples.
