Abstract
Positively and negatively charged coalescence products of C60 and C70 were characterized following pulsed laser desorption from fullerene thin films. Coalescence occurs by gas-phase reactions. Positive ions are generated by thermoionization of hot neutrals, while negative ions likely form by electron attachment to neutral species in the outermost region of the desorption plume. Thermoionization rate and surface-induced dissociation (SID) measurements are consistent with fullerene-like structures for coalescence products detected as positive ions.
