Synthesis of a higher fullerene precursor-an "unrolled" C84 fullerene.
We report the synthesis of the C(84)(20)-fullerene related hydrocarbon C(84)H(42), which possesses more than 83% of the C(84)(20)-fullerene connectivity, and its selective transformation to C(84) by flash vacuum pyrolysis (FVP).
