N2 - The cross sections for electron transfer from sodium to C60 Fn- and C60 (C F3) n- anions in 50-keV collisions as a function of the number of functional groups n are reported. There are clear differences between derivatives of fluorine and trifluoromethyl due to the different electron withdrawing properties of F and C F3. The role of inductive effects and π electron delocalization on the electron affinity is discussed, assuming a correlation between the cross section and the electron affinity of the anion.
