This book might be more useful if available in a less teaching aid for science courses, to be read in conjunction with the original paper by Kroto, Smalley and KrPtschmer, Huffman and colleagues' paper on the synthesis of macroscopic quantities of C,, (Nature (1990) ./cache/work_pu23ihwod5cmtl5fvmcwmre6k4.pdf ./txt/work_pu23ihwod5cmtl5fvmcwmre6k4.txt
