Natural Fullerenes-Will they Offer a Hint to the Selective Synthesis of Fullerenes?

Pages 637-652 | Received 11 Mar 1999, Published online: 23 Apr 2008
 

Abstract

In addition to the known laboratory methods of preparing fullerenes, which generally start from carbon vapor, studies of naturally occurring C60/C70 suggest a catalytic process of fullerene formation that proceeds in solid phase under mild condition. Recent observation of C60/C70 in Yunnan coal and Kalerian C-rich rock is reviewed in the light of the above perspective.
