The triplet states of C6,, and C,,, (fullerenes) in solid phase at 3 and 77 K are detected by the time-resolved EPR technique. The observed time-resolved EPR spectra and the time profiles of the transient signals indicate that the geometries of Cw and CT0 are distorted from the soccerball geometry (

β¦ Synopsis
We report on the observation of two different triplet states in photoexcited C, fullerene molecules. The following fine structure parameters were determined from spectral fits to the triplet powder spectrum: IDI [=0.0117 cm-' (12.5 mT), lJ&l=O.O014 cm-' (1.5 mT) and / D2j ~0.0047 cm-' (5 mT), l&l =O.O cm-'. Below 10 Kmainly triplet 1 was observed, whereas triplet 2 appeared only with increasing temperature. It is thermally activated with an activation energy AE= 17 meV. Due to motional narrowing the parameters D, and E, decrease slightly at higher temperatures. Depopulation kinetics as well as spin-lattice relaxation rates were determined.

A Ff-EPR study was made of paramagnetic species formed by pulsed-laser excitation of Cm in fluid solution. Earlier findings that photoexcitation of Cso in fluid solution gives rise to an EPR signal with narrow linewidth were confirmed. The lifetime of the signal corresponds to that of the CGO triple
