Diagnostic analyses were performed on a d.c. carbon arc discharge, using two different experimental systems, under conditions in which the fullerenes and carbon nanostructures are formed. The self-absorption effect in the d ³P_g, v' = 0 ® a ³P_u, v" = 0 band was used for column density determination of C₂ radicals and temperatures. The fullerene C₆₀ content in the collected soot was determined by spectrophotometric absorption of the toluene soot extracts, and using HPLC technique. Temperatures within 3500 - 6500 К, column densities within (0.5 - 10)xl0¹⁶ cm^-2 and C60 content within 4 and 15 wt% were found depending upon the arc current, pressure of the buffer gas (He) and plasma coordinates.
