Elucidating the structures of individual lignin molecules in heterogeneous mixtures remains a significant analytical challenge. Here, the authors employ NMR and MALDI-TOF MSn to precisely discern inter-unit linkages in the lignin molecules, unveiling a structural progression map which elucidates chemical features of individual oligomers in milled wood lignin and synthetic lignin.
