In this paper, it is reported that microwave synthesis techniques can be used to convert graphite powder and fluorinated graphite in different matrices to fullerenes (i.e., C-60 and C-70). The microwave approach allows for the quick, economical production of the carbon allotropes. Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time of Flight Mass (MALDI-TOF) spectrometry is used as the detection technique. Pyrrole was also used as a reactant and the formation of aza-fullerenes was suggested by the mass spectral data.
