Abstract
Gas-phase C-84 is resonantly excited using infrared (IR) radiation from a f ree electron laser. At specific wavelengths, strong ion signals are observe d, resulting from thermionic emission of electrons by the fullerenes. The m ass-selected ion yield is recorded as a function of IR frequency and the re sulting spectrum yields information on the electronic ground state of the g as-phase molecule.
