Abstract

Carbon-13 NMR spectra of powder samples of pure C60 and of a mixture of C60 and C70 provide information about molecular motions in the solid state. At room temperature, C60 molecules rotate rapidly and isotropically. The transition from a rapidly rotating to a stationary (on the time scale of the experiment) system occurs over a temperature range from 120 K to 60 K, suggesting a distribution of activation energies. C70 molecules also rotate rapidly at room temperature, but more anisotropically.
