Electrolytic electrospray ionization mass spectrometry of C60-TTF-C60 derivatives: high-resolution mass measurement and molecular ion gas-phase reactivity

The electrochemical process involved in electrospray ionization is used to obtain odd‐electron molecular ions from C60‐TTF‐C60 and its methano derivatives. Exact mass measurements obtained using high‐resolution mass spectrometry are reported, and the gas‐phase behavior of the radical cation (retro‐D...

Description
Summary:The electrochemical process involved in electrospray ionization is used to obtain odd‐electron molecular ions from C60‐TTF‐C60 and its methano derivatives. Exact mass measurements obtained using high‐resolution mass spectrometry are reported, and the gas‐phase behavior of the radical cation (retro‐Diels‐Alder reaction and [M/2 + H]+ ion formation) is described.
