Abstract :
Gas-phase complexes of C60 with silver atoms and small silver clusters are produced in a molecular beam and studied with time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The cation complexes are produced in a laser vaporization cluster source using a silver rod coated with a sublimed film of C60. Cluster masses of the form [AgxC60]+ are observed for x = 1–5. Additionally, an intense mass is observed at Ag(C60)2+. Mass-selected photodissociation experiments probe the structure and bonding in these novel cluster species.
