✦ Synopsis

High-resolution soft X-ray emission and absorption spectra in the C K region of hydrofullerene, which probably consists mainly of C H , were measured using highly brilliant synchrotron radiation to identify its molecular structure and 60 36 electronic structure. Comparison with the C2p-DOS spectra, calculated by discrete variational (DV) Xa molecular orbital calculations, of three possible C H isomers, showed that the measured X-ray spectra approximately agreed with the 60 36 calculated C2p-DOS spectra of the T-symmetry isomer. The X-ray spectral features were explained by the electronic 2 3 structure hybridized between the sp and sp carbon atoms of the T-symmetry C H .
