Fast and selective analytical methods help to ensure the chemical identity and desired purity of the prepared complexes before their medical application, and play an indispensable role in clinical practice. Mass spectrometry, despite some limitations, is an integral part of these methods. In the context of mass spectrometry, specific problems arise with the low ionization efficiency of particular analytes. Chemical derivatization was used as one of the most effective methods to improve the analyte’s response and separation characteristics. The Schotten–Baumann reaction was successfully adapted for the derivatization of ESI hardly ionizable Re(VII) bis(catechol) oxochlorocomplex. Various alkyl and halogen p-substituted anilines as possible derivatization agents were tested. Unlike the starting complex, the reaction products were easily ionizable in electrospray, providing structurally characteristic molecular and fragment anions. DFT computer modeling, which proposed significant conformation changes of prepared complexes within their deprotonation, proved to have a close link to MS spectra. High-resolution MS and MS/MS measurements complemented with collision-induced dissociation experiments for detailed specification of prepared complexes’ fragmentation pathways were used. The specified fragmentation schemes were analogous for all studied derivatives, with an exception for [Re(O)(Cat)2PIPA].

The identification of trace components from an individual cell can require derivatization under mild conditions for successful analysis by mass spectrometry (MS).

A modification of our triphenylene ketal based receptor facilitates electrospray tandem mass spectrometry investigations. Binding affinities of eleven potential substrates, e.g. caffeine and other xanthine alkaloids, are probed in the gas phase with collision induced dissociation. The relative stabilities of the substrate-receptor complexes are rapidly determined and the findings are correlated with the corresponding results in solution.
