The standard electric are generator was used to prepare Fullerenes sub
stitutionally doped on the surface with boron and nitrogen. The materi
al is a unique case of a molecular crystal of high symmetry, consistin
g of molecules of extremely low C-s symmetry. FT-IR and FT-Raman spect
ra of the C58BN were measured in the spectral region 2000-30 cm(-1) an
d over a large temperature interval: 14-300 K.
