Abstract
The formation of carbon structures upon the reactions of organic compounds with strong mineral acids under hydrothermal conditions was studied. The reactions were found to give amorphous carbon, microcrystalline graphite, nanodiamonds, diamond-like carbon, diamonds, C60 and C70 fullerenes, and carbolite. Hydrocarbons of various compositions including aromatics and naphthenes were detected among the reaction products. A possible mechanism of the formation of carbon structures with sp2 bond hybridization under hydrothermal conditions was proposed.
