We present a rapid and reliable method for determining the sizes and size distributions of <5 nm-sized iron oxide nanocrystals (NCs) using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS). MS data were readily converted to size information using a simple equation. The size distribution obtained from the mass spectrum is well-matched with the data from transmission electron microscopy, which requires long and tedious analysis work. The size distribution obtained from the mass spectrum is highly resolved and can detect size differences of only a few angstroms. We used this MS-based technique to investigate the formation of iron oxide NCs, which is not easy to monitor with other methods. From ex situ measurements, we observed the transition from molecular precursors to clusters and then finally to NCs.
