We have shown the feasibility of 20 nm lateral resolution in both topographic and elemental imaging using probes of this size from a liquid metal ion source (LMIS) scanning ion microprobe (SIM). This performance, which approaches the intrinsic resolution limits of secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), was attained by limiting the size of the beam defining aperture (5μm) to subtend a semiangle at the source of 0.16 mr. The ensuing probe current, in our chromatic-aberration limited optical system, was 1.6 pA with Ga+ or In+ sources. Although unique applications of such low current probes have been demonstrated,) the stringent alignment requirements which they imposed made their routine use impractical. For instance, the occasional tendency of the LMIS to shift its emission pattern caused severe misalignment problems.

C60was shown to react with organosilanes Me4Si, Ph2SiH2, Ph2MeSiH, Ph4Si, andα-naphthylphenylmethylsilane in the electron ionization ion source of a mass spectrometer with the transfer of the corresponding organic radicals (Me, Ph, andα-naphthyl) from the silanes to the fullerene. The reactions were accompanied by hydrogen addition to some products and hydrogen loss from them. C70reacted with Me4Si analogously. A reaction mechanism involving homolytic dissociation of the silanes under electron impact to the corresponding organic radicals, which react further with C60at the surface of the ionization chamber of the mass spectrometer to give the respective adducts, was offered. A mechanistic study of the reaction of C60with Me4Si supported it. No silicon containing derivatives of the fullerenes were found. C60reacted with Ph4Si in solution under UV irradiation in a similar fashion furnishing phenyl derivatives of the fullerene. These results provide an additional support to the hypothesis formulated earlier thatthe homolytic reactive mass spectrometry of fullerenes (the reactions of fullerenes with other species in the ionization chambers of mass spectrometers and their mass spectral monitoring)can predict the reactivity of them toward the same reagents in solution to a significant extent.

The reactivity of the dimethylchloronium ion with a series of aromatic hydrocarbons has been studied in a high pressure mass spectrometer ion source using the technique of reactant ion monitoring. Benzene is unreactive but all others, from toluene to mesitylene, react by CH3+ transfer to yield σ-bonded complexes. The relative rate of reaction increases with increasing exothermicity in line with current theories of nucleophilic displacement reactions.
