| Abstract: A new ring-stacking model is proposed for preferential generation of C60 with I(h) symmetry and C70 with D5h symmetry in carbon soot. The model is constructed on the basis of the following two assumptions: (1) A carbon closed cage (fullerene) is formed by a sequential stacking with appropriate numbers and combinations of only even-numbered carbon rings. (2) The intermediates, as well as the final closed cages, consist of only hexagons and pentagons with no adjacent pentagons. |
