method has been developed, permitting to follow all the steps preceding the formation of spheres of mesophase during the carbonization of decacyclene. We have found a new high temperature decacyclene structure, called q2, which is the principal stable intermediate compound in both decacyclene and acenaphtylene carbonization.
