Larger amounts of fullerenes at the remarkably low temperature of formation of 2700 °C (helium pressure 150 kPa) are provided by a new synthetic method. Cylindrical carbon bodies are inductively heated and evaporated, the resulting fullerenes are extracted from the soot formed, and the product distribution is determined by mass spectrometry.
