A computer routine using rigorous Güttler theory was developed to consider effects of concentric cavities and organic mantles within and around graphite spheres, with a view to assessing the stability of the extinction peak near 4.60 μm-1. The newly discovered stable carbon molecule of 60 atoms gives an absorption band at ≡4.60 μm-1 which closely agrees with the observed; moreover, it leads to the observed extinction rise in the far UV and can possibly explain the fine structure around the 5.5 - 7 μm-1 dip, while its own structure deals successfully with the main objections to previous carbon-graphite models. The role of the electric vector component perpendicular to the basal plane of the crystal in achieving the fit is stressed.
