β¦ Synopsis
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 (I,, symmetry) and DSh symmetry, respectively, in the excited states. Remarkable time dependences of the signals observed at 3 and 77 K are analyzed in terms of the anisotropic sublevel decay rates (3 K) and of the anisotropic spin-lattice relaxation rates (77 K).

The triplet state Raman spectra of C6O and C7o in toluene were obtained using the pump/probe technique. For C6o, new bands at 1461 and 1475 cm-1 appeared around 1470 cm-1 in the triplet state. The Raman peaks at 1448 and 1368 cm-1 for C7o shifted to lower frequencies due to the increase in antibondi
Time-resolved fluorescence depolarisation spectroscopy was used for measuring rotational reorientation times ( 7r) of C& and C,,, in toluene as a function of temperature. The anisotropy decay could not be monitored at any temperature (296-l 91 K) . The plausible reasons could be either washing off a
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
Time-resolved resonance Raman spectra of the first triplet state of biphenyl derivatives are reported in the range 300-1800 cm-'. Convincing assignments and satisfactory correlation with the ground-state assignments are proposed. The DZh planar quinoidal character of T, biphenyl is shown by various
