Short summary
The study explores the formation of small soot clusters by precursor molecules at high temperature. Higher temperature speeds up the decomposition of gas molecules, accelerating the formation of cyclic structures decorated by aliphatic chains. This research offers new insights into the early steps of soot formation, which could help develop more informed kinetic models for pyrolysis and combustion processes.
