  We report idealized mode-coupling theory results for the glass transition of
ensembles of model fullerenes interacting via phenomenological two-body
potentials. Transition lines are found for C60, C70 and C96 in the
temperature-density plane. We argue that the observed glass-transition behavior
is indicative of kinetic arrest that is strongly driven by the inter-particle
attraction in addition to excluded-volume repulsion. In this respect, these
systems differ from most standard glass-forming liquids. They feature arrest
that occurs at lower densities and that is stronger than would be expected for
repulsion-dominated hard-sphere-like or Lennard-Jones-like systems. The
influence of attraction increases with increasing the number of carbon atoms
per molecule. However, unrealistically large fullerenes would be needed to
yield behavior reminiscent of recently investigated model colloids with strong
short-ranged attraction (glass-glass transitions and logarithmic decay of
time-correlation functions).
