Abstract

The molar extinction coefficients known also as molar absorptivity ε of infrared absorption bands of C60 and C70 fullerenes and related hydrogenated derivatives known as “fulleranes” were determined in the temperature range comprised between 80 K and 523 K.
Furthermore, also the integrated molar absorptivity Ψ of each infrared absorption band either of C60 and of C70 were measured and reported together with the Ψ values of the related hydrogenated derivatives “fulleranes”. These results can be useful in the quantitative determination of C60 and C70 fullerenes and “fulleranes” in space after the recent discovery that these molecules are present around the young planetary nebula Tc1 and in other astrophysical objects.
Additional data reported regard the radical cation and radical anion absorption bands of C60 and C70 fullerenes generated in laboratory which can be useful as well for the qualitative and quantitative search of these molecules in space
