The Penning trap mass spectrometer ISOLTRAP allows for the precise mass determination of exotic nuclides far from stability with uncertainties δ m/m of about 10−8. The mass of an ion stored in a strong magnetic field is determined by a measurement of its cyclotron frequency. In this contribution recent results from mass measurements of heavy radionuclides around the proton shell closure Z = 82 are presented. Since the mass represents one of the most basic nuclear properties, precise systematic studies allow to conclude on the resulting size and shape of a given nuclide, as it manifests itself e.g. in the appearance of shape coexistence. With the advent of high-precision mass measurements using the ISOLTRAP spectrometer, in some cases requiring isomeric resolution, it is possible to see a structure in the neutron pairing energy and to examine the relationship between masses and radii for correlations.
