If so what would be the result of colliding accelerated molecules?

The result would be like smashing 2 cars together, loads of bits that we already knew about.

Only on a dry laundered dongle.
probably if you could devise a method of synthesis but what purpose would it serve? Usually the particles are protons. It makes on sense to start with something bigger.

The LHC also collides Lead atoms on occasion, but I wouldn't care to comment on whether there are any benefits to colliding a specific molecule.
Lead ions, I should say.

If the EMF contained a polyvalent metal, say iron, then the containing fullerene would carry an appreciable negative charge spread over it's surface (?). It would have a mol. wt. of over 700 (depending on the fullerene size and metal) so 'quite a large' anion to get in motion/ stop?
