Phthalates (dimethyl, diethyl, dibutyl, diallyl and dinonyl) and p ‐toluenesulfonates (methyl and ethyl) have been investigated as matrices for the fast‐atom bombardment mass spectrometric analysis of fullerenes for the first time. Compared with spectra obtained using 3‐nitrobenzyl alcohol and 2‐nitrophenyl octylether as matrices, the fast‐atom bombardment mass spectra of fullerenes with the two classes of compounds listed above as matrices are simple and show no fragment ions or adduct ions of fullerenes, and the matrices produce no background interference in the mass range of fullerenes.
