UPon excitation of a single crystal of CSO in the visible, microwave transitions have been detected optically in zero field. The transitions derive from triplet states and their frequencies verify that these states are delocalized over more than one C6,, molecule, as Previously inferred from EPR exp

✦ Synopsis
Using absorption-detected magnetic resonance (ADMR) in zero field on Cso in a frozen toluene/polystyrene glass at temperatures between 6 and 40 K we observed two distinct triplet states. Their zero-field splitting parameters were determined by ADMR double resonance to be 1Dil=(114.6+l)x10-4 cm-', ~Et~=(4.8kl)~lO-~ cm-', lDul=(99+10)x10-4 cm-i, and
I En I = ( 17 k 10) x 10m4 cm-'. Triplet I was identified as the molecular triplet state of C, found earlier in frozen glasses, whereas triplet II was ascribed to either residual Cso clusters or a subpopulation of the molecules in an environment allowing for partial averaging of the dipolar splitting due to a fast pseudo-rotation mechanism.

Optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) techniques are used to determine the orbital asQnment of the phosphorescent triplet state of p-benzoquinone in the condensed phase. The principal spin-orbit coupl% routes are discussed in terms of the observed spin-vibronic activity.
Zero-field-splitting parameters D and E for the fullerene GO in its Jahn-Teller distorted triplet state were calculated and compared to recent experimental results. The E value vanishes due to symmetry, while we obtained a non-zero k) value of D = -0.009 cm-' in the Ds distorted lowest triplet state
