A series of supramolecular complexes of various cycludextrins (CDs) was studied. Among the 13 CD complexes synthesized, 11 could be characterizied by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Different supramolecular entities, with host: guest ratios of 1 : 1 and 2: 1, were observed.

✦ Synopsis
High resolution mass spectrometry on time-of-flight (TOF) and ion trap (IT) mass spectrometers is used for the qualitative speciation of a heterodimetallic triple-stranded helicate [EuFe(L 1 ) 3 ](CIO 4 ) 5 and a toroidal complex [Ni 3 (L 2 ) 3 ](CIO 4 ) 6 (= circular single-stranded helicate) dissolved in acetonitrile. The resolution of about 5000 at peak width at half height using ion trap mass spectrometry (ITMS) and time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS) combined with electrospray ionization (ESI) is sufficient to resolve sextuply charged ions leading to a straightforward characterization of the complexes in solution. The ESI-MS response is influenced by the interface design, particularly for the heated capillary interface which requires optimized conditions for the study of non-covalent complexes.
