Abstract
The mechanism of formation of fluorofullerene (FF) negative ions derived from the compounds C60F18, C60F36, and (CF48)-F-60 was studied by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight (ToF) mass spectrometry (MS). A combined experimental/theoretical approach provides compelling evidence of nondissociative, thermodynamically controlled electron transfer from matrix-derived negative ions to the FF analyte as the main secondary-ionization process. Consistent with this thermochemical model, analyte parent molecular ion yield and degree of fragmentation for a particular MALDI experiment was found to depend on the nature of the matrix material (the five matrices investigated were sulfur, trans-2-[3-{4-tert-butylphenyl}-2-methyl-2-propenylidene]malononitrile, 9-nitroanthracene, 2,6-bis((furan-2-yl)methylene)cyclohexanone, and 2,6-bis((thiophen-2-yl)methylene)cyclohexanone). For mixtures of C60Fn compounds with different it values and therefore different electron affinitites, unwanted electron-transfer reactions, which can lead to the suppression of C60Fn- ions with low it values, were successfully blocked for the first time by judicious choice of the matrix. Therefore, reliable qualitative MS analysis of FF mixtures with wide ranges of composition is now possible.
