Graphical Abstract
Fragment ions are well recognized as elusive species in mass spectrometry, typically employed for analytical purposes. In their Communication (e202308600), Jonas Warneke et al. demonstrate that the reaction products of fragment ions formed in the gas phase can be “harvested” from a preparative mass spectrometer to become “building blocks” in chemical synthesis.
