The electronic spectra Of C70 anions were observed in gamma-irradiated methylcyclohexane and MTHF glasses at 77 K. The band at 1386 nm in methylcyclohexane was assigned to C70-. The spectrum in MTHF consisted of two bands at 1184 and 1377 nm. The former band was tentatively ascribed to C-70(2-) and the latter to C70-. The values of epsilonG obtained are 265 +/- 40, 230 +/- 45 and 217 +/- 45 M-1 cm-1 at 1386, 1377 and 1184 nm, respectively.
