Abstract

Post source decay experiments have been performed with fullerene radical cations and large carbon cluster radical cations, produced from laser desorption/ionization and studied by applying reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Utilising the wide-spread technique of continuous ion extraction, in conjunction with a deflecting electrode (ion gate) for the selection of ions, the experimental method is carefully evaluated in light of the observation of interfering, artefact signals which have been established as resulting from delayed ionization of fullerenes.
