Fullerenes as potential collectors of noble metals in carbon-bearing geological formations

The results of computer modelling of fullerenes in the Bartell's restrictions have been suggested in the paper. The inner volumes of all the possible C60 to C100 fullerenes have been calculated. The numbers of dopping Au, Ag, Pt, and Pd atoms have been found for the most stable (symmetrical with no adjacent pentagons) structures. The inner volume has been stated to be mostly dependent from the number of fullerene-forming atoms than from the symmetry point group. The elongated but not spherical fullerenes possess the biggest inner volumes for the given number of carbon atoms
