INFRARED EMISSION SPECTRUM OF GAS PHASE $C_{60}$

The gas phase infrared spectrum of $C 60$ has been observed in emission with the National Solar Observatory Fourier transform spectrometer at Kitt Peak. Bands attributable to the $C 60$ molecule are found at $527.1 c m −1$ , $570.3 c m −1$ , $1169.1 c m −1$ and $1406.9 c m −1$ . Additional emission features are tentatively assigned to $C 70$ or combination bands of $C 60$ . A new strong emission is observed at $1010.2 c m −1$ belonging to an unknown molecule. None of these features can be associated with any of the strong emission bands observed so far in astronomical sources.""
