The dissociation behaviour of a singly and doubly charged (cationised) aza-crown ether/metalloporphyrin-conjugate: Metal-induced reactivity and Coulomb explosions

- The dissociation of aza-crown ether/metalloporphyrin-conjugates was examined by CID.
- Different central metals (Fe/Mn) and guest ions (H+,Na+,K+) were studied.
- Energy-dependent experiments were performed for the monocationic species.
- The central metal (Fe/Mn) influences the dissociation reaction of the monocations.
- The dissociation of the dications depends on the nature of the guest ion.
