Abstract

A new scheme of fullerene formation is proposed on the basis of the similarity between the experimentally detected carbon structures. According to experimental data, the microclusters of C2 and C10 are synthesized first and then either an intermediate nucleus cluster or an obtainable lower fullerene is assembled from them. A high-symmetry fullerene can be assembled with a high probability from a nucleus cluster with a "good" symmetry. The atomic and electronic structures of molecules such as C36, C60, C70, and C76 are analyzed. For C36, the NMR spectra are calculated and compared with the experimental data.
