Abstract
The vibrational spectrum of C70 has been measured by inelastic neutron scattering at 20 K. It closely resembles the spectrum of C60 extendin g smoothly from 26 to 195 meV and reflecting the close bonding similar ities between the two hollow carbon cages. Satisfactory agreement with a QCFF/PI model of the C70 vibrations is found.
