The research area of ion clusters has helped to enrich the study of chemical bonding theory, clarify the crystal nucleation process and investigate the cluster ion–molecule reactions. The mass spectrometry (MS) technique, especially high‐resolution MS, is an important method for investigating ion clusters in the gas phase. As polyoxometalates (POMs) have been attracting considerable interest in biochemistry, medicine and materials science due to their excellent structural and electronic features it is important to characterize these clusters by MS.

在气相辅助激光解吸/电离条件下，硅多金属氧酸盐阴离子广泛生成和表征离子簇

离子簇的研究领域有助于丰富化学键合理论的研究，阐明晶体成核过程，并研究簇离子-分子反应。质谱（MS）技术，尤其是高分辨率MS，是研究气相中离子簇的重要方法。由于多金属氧酸盐（POM）由于其出色的结构和电子特性而在生物化学，医学和材料科学领域吸引了相当大的兴趣，因此用MS表征这些簇非常重要。
