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.

A new ultra fast electron impact (El) ion source is pre­sented that produces a very short, high intensity electron beam, allowing medium resolution mass spectra to be re­corded without pulsing the ion accelerating voltages in a time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF-MS). The ion source requires minimum modification of any TOF-MS equipped with an electrostatic ion reflector and UV-laser. El-spectra are presented for comparison with literature spectra.

ABSTRACTAtoms are gas discharge sputtered from a solid target. They are condensed to form clusters using the gas aggregation technique. An intense beam of clusters of all solid materials can be obtained. Up to 80 % of the clusters can be ionised without using additional electron impact ionisation. Total deposition rates vary between 1 and 1000 Å per second depending on cluster diameter, which can be varied between 3 and 500 nm. Thin films of Al, Cu, and Mo have been produced so far. For non accelerated beams a weakly adhering mostly coulored deposit is obtained. Accelerating the cluster ions this changes to a strongly adhering film, having a shiny metallic appearance, and a very sharp and plane surface as seen in an electron microscope. The advantages compared to Kyoto ICB-method are: easy control of the cluster size, no electron impact ionisation, high degree of ionisation, and sputtering is used instead of thermal evaporation, which allows the use of high melting point materials.

For the production of radioactive ion beams by means of the ISOL (isotope separation on-line) method in which the nuclei of interest are stopped in a thick target, chemistry plays a crucial role. It serves to separate the nuclear reaction products in atomic or molecular form from the bulk target and to transfer them efficiently to an ion source. This article gives an overview of ISOLDE radiochemical methods where targets (liquid metals, solid metals, carbides and oxides) and ion sources are optimized with respect to efficiency, speed and chemical selectivity. Rather pure beams of non-metals and volatile metals can be obtained with a temperature-controlled transfer line acting as thermo-chromatograph. For less volatile metals the temperature of the target and ion source units needs to be kept as high as possible, but a selective ion source can be used: positive surface ionization for metals with ionization potentials below about 6 eV and the RILIS (resonance ionization laser ion source) technique for most other metals.
