Notes:
An unprecented double-electron transfer reaction has been observed between triply charged buckminsterfullerene, C60·3+, and the PAH molecules anthracene, corannulene, benzo[rst] pentaphene and pyrene at 294 ± 2 K in helium at 0.35 ± 0.01 Torr. The measurements were made with a selected-ion flow tube (SIFT) apparatus. With anthracene, corannulene and pyrene double-electron transfer was a minor channel (〈5%): single-electron transfer was the predominant channel. With benzo [rst] pentaphene, which requires the lowest energy for double ionization, single and double-electron transfer proceeded in almost equal amounts.
