Target capture is the process in tandem mass spectrometry in which the parent ion and the target gas do not separate following collision. It was predicted by Neumann et al. and has been studied using Buckminsterfullerene ions and renin substrate ions. The present study investigates the question of molecular target capture by C{sub 60}{sup +.} ions. The gases employed were CH{sub 4}, CD{sub 4}, {sup 13}CH{sub 4}, N{sub 2} and O{sub 2}. All of these gases form adducts with the C{sub 60}{sup +.} ions and the mechanism of formation of these adducts has been studied by considering their translational energies.
