In this paper, resonant laser ablation time-of-flight mass spectroscopy (RLA-TOF-MS) has been used to mass spectroscopic characterization of yttrium-containing fullerenes. Solvent soluble, yttrium-containing fullerenes are extracted from yttrium/carbon soot produced by the carbon-arc fullerene generation method. The RLA-TOF mass spectra indicate the presence of YC82. The metallofullerences YC60, YC70, Y2C82 and a series of Y2C2n are not observed by RLA-TOF-MS. This result is consistent with the ESR spectral result reported by Shinohara et al.
