c6&70 containing soot was produced by arc-vaporization of graphite. The chromatographic separation of soot yielded fairly pure Cm and C70 samples. High-resolution FT-Raman spectra of c 6 0 and C70 specimen as well as c 6 0 and C70 solutions including polarization measurements are recorded. Compared to the spectrum of solid c60, some Raman bands of the Cm solution change their position and shape. Even the purest commercial C~O samples contain solvent inclusions (impurities) in the order of some percentage. The chromatographic separation combined with Raman polarization measurements of solutions allows an evaluation of the fundamental vibrations of the c 6 0 molecule. Its assignment, in accordance with the group theoretical expectation, is proposed. The existence of small amounts of c 6 0 isomers (symmetry, e.g., Czvr D z~, D z~) in icosahedral c 6 0 (Zh) is affirmed based on the polarization measurements. For C70 the most extended set of Raman frequencies is presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
