Abstract: The kinetics of the reaction of C60 and C70 with benzoyl peroxide is studied.The results show that the reaction is first order against fullerenes and the rate constants at 342.2K,348.2K, 353.2 Kand 358.2 Kwere calculated and they are in agreement with experimental results.The rate constant of C70 is greater than that of C60 and this indicated that C70is more actived than C60.The activation energies are 9.275×104J/mol and 8.438×104J/mol for C60 and C70 respectively.
