Abstract

This chapter describes the studies of the endometallofullerene (EMF) ions in the gas phase by various mass spectrometric methods. Historically, mass spectrometry was the first method to indicate the possible existence of EMFs, which happened several years before the discovery of their bulk arc-discharge synthesis. The studies of the ions of EMFs in the gas phase often preceded studies by other techniques that require substantial quantities of EMFs and provided a lot of information on their electronic properties and reactivity . In this chapter, particular attention is devoted to the gas-phase reactions of EMF ions with small molecules, and to the studies of the electron affinity of EMFs.
