摘要: Capsules derived from the reversible assembly of calixarene tetraureas have been characterized by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Ion labeling was achieved through encapsulation ammonium ions as guest molecules. The gas-phase ion structure parent determined isotope pattern analysis, inclusion labeled guests, and collision experiments. Competition experiments with different revealed a clear dependence process on size shape ions. formation several heterodimeric capsules, covalently bridged capsule, larger dumbbell-like aggregates containing two three charged guests has observed. results parallel previous findings NMR in solution thus support validity MS method for characterization these complexes gas phase.
