title: Characterization of encapsulating supramolecules by using CSI-MS with ionization-promoting reagents.
abstract: Guanidine nitrate, DMF, DMA, and DMSO are proven to be efficient ionization-promoting reagents in coldspray ionization mass spectrometry (CSI-MS) for the self-assembled cage Pt compound 1 in aqueous solution. These reagents made it possible to characterize the structures of encapsulated guest molecules in the cage. Detailed structure determinations of the cage compound encapsulating various kinds of guest molecules by using positive CSI-MS with ionization-promoting reagents are described.
