THE ROLE OF POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS IN THE STUDY OF FULLERENE FORMATION
Two approaches intended to elucidate the fullerene-formation mechanism are presented. The first of these involves pyrolytic synthesis of fullerenes from hydrocarbon ring structures known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH's). Following work by Taylor et al. (Nature 366, 728, 1993), C60 is...
