Abstract: In order to better understand the properties and composition
of solids pf polyfluorinated C-60, X-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy (XPS) was used to characterize several
different C60Fx samples synthesized in two different
laboratories. Quantitative measurements of the F-1s, C-1s
and O-1s, XPS signals established the elemental
stoichiometry of each sample. The F/C ratios for the
different samples ranged from 28/60 to 53/60 in general
agreement with previous mass spectroscopy studies of each
sample. C-1s energies and shifts as well as solid-state
nuclear magnetic resonance studies provided additional
information about the degree of fluorination and level bf C-
C bond breaking.
