Abstract

The first successful separation and isolation from arc-burned soot of Gd-doped composite rods of a mixture (in an abundance ratio of 3:2) of two minor isomers of C84 with molecular symmetry D6h and D3d, and their characterisation by 13C NMR and UV-VIS-NIR absorption spectroscopy, are described.
