Description
The spectra of fullerenes C60 and C70, higher
fullerenes C76, C78 and C84 and
hydrogenated fullerenes (fulleranes) were studied in laboratory in the
UV and in the visible spectral range and could be used for searching and
recognizing these molecules in space. Furthermore, the radical cation
spectra of all the mentioned fullerene series and also of a series of
large and very large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were
generated in the laboratory and studied in the near infrared spectral
range.
