Abstract.
Spontaneous (metastable) and surface-induced decay reactions for multiply charged fullerene ions, investigated recently in Innsbruck, are reviewed. Results discussed include the mechanisms and energetics of C2 evaporation and charge separation reactions, the secondary electron emission upon impact on gold surfaces, and surface-induced reactions of singly and multiply charged fullerene ions.
