Ultraviolet photoelectron spectra of C-86 and C-90

Ultraviolet photoelectron spectra of higher fullerenes, C-86 and C-90, both of them having C-2 symmetry, are measured with a synchrotron radiation Light source. The spectral bands above 4.5 eV are characteristic of individual fullerenes, while those below 5 eV resemble each other and are similar to other higher fullerenes. Upon the incident-photon energy change, the intensity of the bands oscillates and their peak positions shift. The bands above 5 eV of both C-2-C-86 and C-2-C-90 show a Similar incident-photon-energy-dependent intensity oscillation.
