| Abstract: | Linked‐in : The rigid Schiff‐base ligand cis,trans‐1,3,5‐tris(pyridine‐2‐carboxaldimino) cyclohexane (ttop) is synthesized, and its complexation to copper(II) salts at a range of stoichiometries is investigated crystallographically by using electrospray mass spectrometry. Further, in‐situ mass spectrometry measurements allow the stepwise construction of the complexes to be observed.  |
