Abstract

The infrared (IR) absorbance spectra of CO intercalated in solid C₆₀ have been measured as a function of temperature. The spectra show a gradual transition from a nearly free rotation of the CO molecules to a situation where their rotational motion is severely hindered. The hindering of the rotational motion of CO caused by the surrounding C₆₀ molecules is found to be comparable to that observed for CO dissolved in a liquid. Good agreement is found between quantum mechanically calculated spectra and the measured IR spectra. The intermolecular van der Waals vibrations of a CO molecule rattling in the octahedral site of the C₆₀ lattice have been observed at low temperatures. The IR spectra of CO intercalated in C₇₀ are measured and compared to those observed for CO intercalated in C₆₀.
