Production and separation of C60 and C70 as an undergraduate experiment

Detailed instructions for producing and separating C60 and C70 are presented. The experiment involves elements of both physics and chemistry. After initial setup of the equipment, results are obtainable within a few hours. Additional experiments for observing physical properties of the fullerenes are suggested. A complete list of equipment is provided, with vendors and catalog numbers, for those wishing to duplicate the experiment.
