In collision experiments with duster ions it is possible to reach cond
itions of extreme temperature and pressure which may lead to the occur
rence of novel chemical reactions which cannot take place under normal
conditions. In this paper we review the reactions which can occur in
hyperthermal collisions of fullerene ions with gas phase or solid targ
