title: Stable, trinuclear Zn(II)- and Cd(II)-metallocycles: TWIM-MS, photophysical properties, and nanofiber formation.
abstract: A series of trimeric, Zn(II)- and Cd(II)-metallocycles is reported. Structural characterization of the highly stable triangles was supported by traveling-wave ion mobility-mass spectrometry (TWIM-MS) and gradient tandem mass spectrometry (gMS(2)). Their unique photophysical properties and self-assembly to form nanofibers are also described.
