Abstract In this study electrospray mass spectrometry was used to investigate spherical azacages as host molecules for metal ions systems. Two different pyridino cryptands, [bis-tren(tris-pyridine)amine L1 and bis-tren(tris-pyridine)phenylamide L2] were examined with regard to their affinity for coordinating metal ions such as Ag+, Hg2+, Ni2+, Zn2+, and Co2+. The complex formation was performed in a water/methylene chloride system as well as in pure water, and subsequent electrospray mass spectrometry described the behavior and partition of the complex species. Generally, L1 shows higher ability in the coordination of metal ions and the strongest binding for Ag+. L2 gives significant interactions only with Ag+ and Co2+. Collision activation experiments were used to study the stability of complex species and to distinguish between species formed in solution and during electrospray.
