H. Steger et al., IONIZATION AND FRAGMENTATION DYNAMICS OF HIGHLY FLUORINATED FULLERENES C60F46,48 AND C70F54,56 AFTER EXCITATION WITH SYNCHROTRON-RADIATION, Chemical physics letters, 276(1-2), 1997, pp. 39-46
Highly fluorinated fullerenes of the composition C60Fx with x = 46, 48
and C70Fx with x = 54, 56 have been ionised by single photon absorpti
on. The resulting ions have been detected by means of time-of-flight m
ass spectrometry. For all species under investigation, the careful ana
lysis of the photo-ion yield curves at threshold revealed identical io
nisation energies of 12.0 eV with an uncertainty of +/- 0.1 eV for the
C-60-based molecules and +/- 0.2 eV for the C-70-based ones. (C) 1997
