Abstract: | We report an electrospray ionization mass spectrometric study of Cu(I) and Cu(II) bipyridine complexes employed in atom transfer radical polymerization. Mass spectra of Cu(I)Br complexed with 2 equiv. of 4,4'-di(5-nonyl)-2,2'-bipyridine (dNbpy) in toluene, methyl acrylate or styrene showed the presence of Cu(I)(dNbpy)(2)](+) cation and Cu(I)Br(2)](-) anion. For the Cu(II)Br(2)/2dNbpy system, Cu(II)(dNbpy)(2)Br](+), Cu(II)(dNbpy)Br](+), Cu(I)Br(2)](-), Cu(II)Br(3)](-) and Cu(II)(dNbpy)Br(3)](-) species were observed. In addition, for mixed Cu(I)Br/2dNbpy and Cu(II)Br(2)/2dNbpy systems, the negative ion mode showed only the presence of Cu(I)Br(2)](-) anions, which are potentially formed through halogen exchange between Cu(II)Br(3)](-) and Cu(I)(dNbpy)(2)](+).
