Five‐ through ten‐membered homo‐ and heteronuclear metallomacrocycles possessing connectivity have been prepared and isolated. Characterization includes a detailed analysis using traveling wave ion‐mobility mass spectrometry, which allows the separation and identification of individual conformers based on size and charge. Conformer size derived from molecular modeling agrees well with collision cross‐sections determined by the mass spectrometry experiments (see graphic).
