Abstract
The electrochemical process involved in electrospray ionization is used to obtain odd-electron molecular ions from C-60-TTF-C-60 and its methano deriv atives. Exact mass measurements obtained using high-resolution mass spectro metry are reported, and the gas-phase behavior of the radical cation (retro -Diels-Alder reaction and [M/2 + H](+) ion formation) is described.
