β¦ Synopsis
Theoretical investigation has proposed fullerenes as precursors of a new family of carbon nanostructures: schwarzite, hollow diamonds, nanowires, etc. In order to explore new synthetic routes we have studied the laser-induced modification of fullerite. Ordered graphitic micro-and nano-structures have been produced by pulsed laser irradiation of fullerite under controlled atmosphere. Our experiments show the possibility of etching periodic mesoscopic structures from fullerite surfaces. Starting from fullerite, it is also possible to produce thin layers of a composite material formed by oriented graphitic nanofibers embedded in an amorphous matrix.

## Abstract Isotopically selective multiphoton dissociation of CHClF~2~ produced a mixture of ^12^C/^13^C isotopomeric tetrafluoroethylenes. Specific NMR parameters for each isotopomer and the composition of this mixture were obtained from ^13^C and ^19^F NMR spectra by spectral analysis using cons
