Abstract

Abstract This article reviews the current literature on the new form of carbon based on the fullerene structure. It is now clear that fullerenes can be made from sources other than graphite. Progress has been made in characterising this material by Fourier transform infra red (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometric techniques and a wide range of physical measurements have been completed. Potential uses of fullerenes have also been outlined. Fullerene chemistry may also be useful in understanding both coking and soot-forming processes.
