• Structure Identification of a C₆₀ Dimer using Electrical Mobility Measurements

Abstract

C₆₀ particles were formed by a C₆₀ vapor source equipped with an ²⁴¹Am ionizer, and their mobility was measured using a differential mobility analyzer (DMA). Two distinct peaks for the C₆₀ monomer and the C₆₀ dimer were observed in the mobility spectra. When the measured mobility was compared with theoretical mobilities for several isomers of the C₆₀ dimer, the C₆₀ dimer was suggested to have the geometric structure of a [2+2] 66/66 cycloadduct C₆₀ dimer. Selective formation of the [2+2] C₆₀ dimer was also suggested when the peak profile for the C₆₀ dimer was analyzed using the transfer function for the DMA. The formation mechanism of the [2+2] C₆₀ dimer in the gas phase is discussed.
