Abstract

Protonated hexaazamacrocycle [M•H](+) is able to detect K(+) ions present at ppb level in methanolic solutions containing 10(-5) M of Na(+) ions. The high sensitivity and selectivity of [M•H](+) for K(+) is ascribed to the favorable energy balance between the K(+) ion desolvation and its coordination to the [M•H](+) macrocycle, which allows the formation of the corresponding adduct before the Coulombic explosion of the ESI-MS nanodroplets.
