Fullerene C60 in Solid Bitumen Accumulations in Neo-Proterozoic Pillow-Lavas at Mítov (Bohemian Massif)

  • Chapter
Natural Fullerenes and Related Structures of Elemental Carbon

Part of the book series: Developments in Fullerene Science ((DFUL,volume 6))

Abstract

Fullerene C60 occurs at extremely low concentration (0.2—0.3 ppm) in hard solid bitumen that was accumulated in the pillow lava bodies exposed at Mítov (Teplá-Barrandian Neo-proterozoic of the Bohemian Massif). No higher fullerenes were documented. The C60 fullerene and its precursors are present in non-graphitic and non-graphitizable carbonaceous matter. Inclusions of fullerene are found embedded within glass-like carbons that are found within the pillow lava bodies. Rare fullerenes in Mítov were probably preserved in the closed micropores and mesopores of the glass-like, solid bitumen. Pyrolysis of biogenic PAHs precursors seems a plausible way to form fullerenes in geological environments.
