Despite minor differences (Alfe et al., 2005), young soot particles formed from ethylene and from benzene flames clearly show very similar morphologies. The diameters of the small spherical particles range from 10 to 20 nm. Each particle is made up of a large number of crystallites. Each crystallite consists of several aromatic sheets with interlayer spacing of about 0.34 nm, similar to the spacing of ideal graphite (0.335 nm).

The 1,3-butadienyl radical is primarily a by-product of butadiene pyrolysis in this system but results from vinyl addition to acetylene in flames of other aliphatic fuels. In aromatic flames 1,3-butadienyl may be produced by oxidative and pyrolytic decomposition of aromatic species, as suggested in a study of benzene flames (10) ... 

The behavior of C4H4 relative to benzene and PAH has been observed in other aliphatic flames, including those of methane (25,26), acetylene (7,27), and ethylene (27), as well as benzene flames (1, 10). As an example. Figure 13 shows data for ethylene and acetylene flames extracted from the works of Crittenden (28) and Crittenden and Long (27). This correlation may be explained if 1,3-butadienyl can be shown to be the primary precursor for formation of C4H4, as well as PAH. 

That C H is indeed related to C4H is indicated by the present data as well as data from two other flames studied in the same experimental system at the same burner velocity and pressure, namely, a stoichiometric 1,3-butadiene flame (7) and a near-sooting benzene flame (10). In all three cases, the ratio of the peak concentration of C H to that of C4H4 is about 1 30 (e.g.. Figure 7), and the C H peak occurs about 1 mm (or about 0.3 ms) before that of C H. This behavior is indicative of an intermediate/product relationship between C H and C H. The kinetics of the relationship seems to vary little among these different flames. 

To identify the growth species, we consider which hydrocarbons in the post flame gases satisfy the above constraints. The volatile material may easily be eliminated. For example, its concentration is about 100 times higher in benzene flames than in flames of aliphatic fuels ( 8), but the growth rates are nearly identical ( ). Also, there is always much less volatile material than soot in the flame ( 3), so there cannot be enough of it (constraints (ii) and (iii)) to account for the large increase in soot mass with age.

Samples collected from the liquid nitrogen (LN) cold trap are similar to those collected at the fiber wool trap. The only difference is that there are fewer soot particles and more soluble material than at the fiber wool trap. When dissolved, the solvent turned to a light yellowish color. When analyzed with time-of-flight mass spectrometry, 50 and C70 are observed in the solution. However, when the sample from the LN trap was directly analyzed by FT-ICR mass spectrometry, we notice that the mass spectrum showed a whole array of peaks that we interpret as higher fullerenes up to C118 (Fig. 6). This is similar to the mass spectrum of negative ion clusters in a benzene flame (3).
