{sup 252}Cf-plasma desorption mass spectrometry (PDMS) of {alpha}, {beta}, and {gamma} cyclodextrins (1, 2, and 3) is presented. Cationized molecular ions are observed for all compounds studied. Characteristic patterns of fragmentation involving the loss of four or more glycosyl units appear in the spectra. This method is also applied to the analysis of hexakis (2,6-di-O-methyl)-{alpha}-, 4, heptakis (2,6-di-O-methyl)-{beta}-, 5, and mono (6-OTs)-{beta}-, 6, cyclodextrins. Fragmentation provides information on the molecular structure of these thermally labile cyclodextrins. 27 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.
