Abstract
MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry was used for the characterization of metallo-supramolecular coordination arrays with molecular weights between 500 and 4000 g/mol. The stepwise loss of the counterions was used as an additional fingerprint for the investigated species. The isotope pattern yielded further information, especially in combination with simulations.
