Formation of Gaseous Negative Ions of Fluoro and Trifluoromethyl Derivatives of C60 Fullerene Studied by Knudsen-Cell Mass Spectrometry

Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

Experimental procedures are described for producing negative ions of fluoro and trifluoromethyl derivatives of C60 in the vapor phase and characterizing them by Knudsen-cell mass spectrometry. Some common aspects of the formation of such ions are established, and the associated ion-molecule equilibria are investigated. Electron affinity data are presented for C60(CF3)2n molecules. It is shown that, upon ionization, the fluorofullerenes tend to loose one or several fluorine atoms.
