✦ Synopsis

We compute the far-infrared absorption spectrum ofthe endohedral metallofullerene K+@&. This arises from the vibrational and rotational motion of the potassium ion about its equilibrium position at the center of the buckyball cage. The spectrum is quite unusual. Although the permanent dipole moment of the complex is zero, absorption is very intense. The spectrum contains a pure rotation band, which peaks near 55 cm-' at 25°C. There is also a fundamental vibration-rotation band, consisting of a strong P-branch at 70 cm-', overlapping the rotational band, and a much weaker R-branch at 180 cm-'. Line-spacing is strongly dependent on the rotational quantum number. Hot bands contribute significantly to the intensity. We include a discussion of dipolar shielding effects.

The endohedral fullerene He@&, is potentially responsible for unidentified infrared bands in molecular clouds. In this species overlap effects induce a small dipole moment. We have computed the induced dipole and endohedral potential using self-consistent field Hartree-Fock theory. Using these resul

We calculate the far-infrared absorption spectrum associated with the vibrational and rotational motion of a He atom enclosed in a nanotube of diameter 0.7 nm, formed by rolling up a single sheet of graphite and capping each end with one half of a CsO molecule.

We concluded our study of the quantum rovibrational motion of He in C70 with a brief discussion of the classical dynamics. Fig. 4 is incorrect, and should be replaced by the figure reproduced below. The classical motion is seen to be essentially regular. This further supports the conclusions reached
