Abstract

Experiments on fullerene decay are reviewed and the frequency factor for C2 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 C60 to above 1020 s-1, in good agreement with experimental results.
