Pulsed carbon dioxide laser desorption Fourier transform mass spectra (LD/FTMS) of benzene soot samples, deposited upon a stainless steel probe tip and a potassium chloride coated stainless steel probe tip, are reported. Under both conditions, polyaromatic hydrocarbon ions with mjz below 1000 and a series of even-numbered carbon aggregate positive ions extending above mjz 7200 are observed. Enhanced relative abundance of C60+ is found for soot deposited upon stainless steel, but not on KCl-coated stainless steel. In the high mass region above m/z 1000, it appears that two distinct distributions of carbon aggregate positive ions can be detected. One distribution appears to be centered around C154+ and a second, much broader, distribution extends from ca. C300+ to above C600+.Formation of neutral and ionic aggregates exclusively containing carbon, via laser ablation processes from graphite, 1'10* has inspired a good deal of dialogue regarding the structures of these species. Because no direct structural information is available, various structural proposals including both spherical3 andlinear cross-linked polymeric species10 are rationalized in terms of mass spectrometric ion abundance measurements. One particular aggregate, C60+, and its metal-attached derivatives have been the subject of much discussion, primarily because of Smalley’s im-
