Abstract

Abstract The ligands L and ligand L* self-assemble with Cu II in different solvents to give a mixture of coordination polymers. These artificial nanostructures have been characterised with the help of ESMS, the only analytical tool that allows their unambiguous characterisation. Kinetic and thermodynamic ESMS studies have excluded the possibility that these compounds form aggregates during the ES process.
