The purpose of this account is to describe some of the key, early mass spectrometric studies of gas-phase carbon clusters, which served as a prelude to the Huffman-Kratschmer discovery as well as some of the more recent investigations of fullerene properties in the gas phase. The authors concentrate on analytical investigations of fullerene structure and chemistry as studied by mass spectrometry.
