Abstract
We discuss the destruction of fullerene, and we summarize at this occasion a number of peculiar and yet poorly understood effects which are related to fullerene destruction, such as fullerite sputtering, SiC formation, and en hanced etchability of ion tracks formed in presence of fullerite. We give a tentative explanation for these effects.
