| Abstract: | Abstract It was confirmed that soot produced by free burning of small hydrocarbons like benzene and cyclohexane generally contains less than 0.1 ppm of C60. Small, but measurable amounts of C60 were found in two samples of charcoal, providing the first indication of fullerene formation in the solid state. |
