Formation of highly charged quasi-molecular ions of a polycationic [60]fullerene hexakis-adduct and their fragmentation behavior in the gas phase
A novel polycationic [60]fullerene hexakis-adduct has been synthesized and investigated by electrospray ionization and tandem mass spectrometry. The polycationic ligand system comprises 12 pre-formed positive charges, compensated in the neutral molecule b
