采用快流气相反应器、F/sub - 2/准分子激光电离和飞行时间质量分析，研究了激光汽化制备的裸碳团簇的反应性。虽然大多数小碳团簇（C/sub - n/, n < 40）与NO、SO/sub - 2/和CO等小分子反应强烈，但较大的偶数碳团簇（40 < n < 80）相对惰性。C/sub 60/ (Buckminsterfullerene)的反应性缺失最为明显。大的偶数C/sub / n/星团的惰性证明它们已经封闭成由12个五边形环和n/2 - 10个六边形环组成的无边球形壳。考虑了类似壳结构在烟灰形成和形态中的可能作用。16个参考文献，4个数字。
The reactivity of bare carbon clusters produced by laser vaporization has been studied by a fast-flow gas-phase reactor followed by F/sub 2/ excimer laser ionization and time-of-flight mass analysis. Although most small carbon clusters (C/sub n/, with n < 40) were found to be highly reactive with such small molecules as NO, SO/sub 2/, and CO, the larger even n clusters (40 < n < 80) were found to be relatively inert. This lack of reactivity was most pronounced for C/sub 60/ (Buckminsterfullerene). Inertness of the large even C/sub n/ clusters is evidence that they have closed into edgeless, spheroidal shells composed of 12 pentagonal rings and n/2 - 10 hexagonal rings. The possible role of similar shell structures in the formation and morphology of soot is considered. 16 references, 4 figures.
