Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry is used to study thymidine solutions in the presence of copper ions and EDTA. The results show formation of thymidine–EDTA complexes in the absence of CuCl2, and the existence of thymidine–EDTA–CuCl2 complexes in a CuCl2 and EDTA containing thymidine solution. The stoichiometry of the complexes is determined.
