Abstract

The temperature, solvent, and concentration dependence of the fluorescence and phosphorescence spectra of C{sub 70} in glassy solutions have been examined. Spectra have been recorded over the temperature range 4-200 K. In addition, the AC Stark field modulated phosphorescence and the phosphorescence of {sup 13}C{sub 70} have been recorded and analyzed. The lowest triplet state is identified as a {sup 3}E{sub 1}` state and the vibronic structure consists primarily of Herzberg-Teller active e{sub 2}` modes. The intensity of the electronic origin is comparable to the vibronically induced intensity and is extraordinarily solvent sensitive. The solvent sensitivity exhibited by the spectra is shown to have the same origins as that observed in benzene and pyrene, but is several times greater in magnitude. Analysis of the spectra suggests that two electronic excited states contribute to the observed phosphorescence spectrum. 27 refs., 6 figs., 1 tab.
