Abstract

Experiments on fullerene decay are reviewed and the frequency factor for C(2) emission is extracted. The value is also calculated theoretically. Inclusion of a number of previously disregarded degrees of freedom for the products increase the theoretical estimate for C(60) to above 10(20) s(-1), in good agreement with experimental results.
