C60+ in space – a 28-year detective story about the Diffuse Interstellar Bands – Part 5
It seems likely that C60+ will act as a stable site for a wide variety of adducts and that these entities will contribute to the Diffuse Interstellar Bands. John Maier's group in Basel is looking for species like C60(Fe)+.
