โฆ Synopsis
The reactivity of buckminsterfullerene CsO, with the rare gas ions He+, Ne+ and Ar+ has been examined in a selected-ion flow tube (SIFT) at 294 + 2 K. All three ions are observed to undergo charge transfer to C M). The reactions of He+ and Ne+ also produce substantial amounts of C 20' in unprecedented charge transfer electron detachment reactions. Dissociative charge transfer processes, although expected to be exothermic in some cases, were not observed in any instance. Possible mechanisms are discussed for the production of doubly charged ions in these systems.

The atom-atom potential method has been used to calculate the interaction between the C60 molecule and the rare-gas atoms. Previous reports on these systems by Pang and Brisse are revised. The endohedral complexes of He@C60, Ne@C60, Ar@Cro, and Kr@C60 are more stable than the exohedral complexes but
