Abstract

Inelastic neutron scattering spectra were measured at 85 K for a hydrofullerite quenched to this temperature after a synthesis at 620 K under a hydrogen pressure of 0.6 GPa, and for the same sample annealed at 300 K. The quenched sample consisted of C60H24 molecules and of interstitial molecular hydrogen (1.4 H2 molecules per unit C60). The interstitial H2 left the sample during the annealing at 300 K. The intramolecular and intermolecular C60H24 vibrations and H2 rotations are discussed based on the measured spectra.
