Abstract :
C2 Swan band emission (d3πg→a3πu) near 517 nm is observed in a solar reactor for fullerene synthesis. On the basis of theoretical considerations and experimentals in the temperature range 3000–3400 K evidence is presented supporting the formation of excited C2 by absorption of solar photons. This phenomenon that we propose to name: solar-induced fluorescence (SIF) is described for the first time.
