FULLERENE STRUCTURES AND CLUSTERS OBTAINED FROM CYCLIC HYDROCARBON

摘要

The hypotheses that the fullerene structures with a great number of C atoms could be produced not only through coupling atom by atom but via the union of carbon rings that are already bonded was proved for some hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbon decomposition of naphthalene and ferrocene by arc discharge and xy101 by heating were used. The expected high ratio of obtained big and multishell fullerenes was confirmed. Some interesting cluster agglomerates have arisen during the synthesis of the fullerene structures. They possess a porous structure and can adsorb hydrogen. Their density is only 00.15g/cm~3.
